FAQ

Passport photo questions, Jersey City edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Jersey City?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Jersey City as long as it meets all federal guidelines. Using a dedicated app ensures your photo has the correct lighting, background, and dimensions before you print or upload it.

What size and format does a U.S. passport photo need to be?

Your photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, you must remove your glasses for your passport photo, even if you wear them daily around New Jersey. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn continuously for religious or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and lighting rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. No other person can be in the photo, so many Jersey City parents find it easiest to lay their baby on a plain white car seat or sheet to take the picture.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo that was taken within the last six months. Whether you are mailing your renewal from Jersey City or applying online, using an older photo will cause your application to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited processing takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times can add up to two additional weeks to the total turnaround time for New Jersey residents.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Jersey City?

The closest regional agency is the New York Passport Agency, located just across the river in Manhattan. This facility is by appointment only and is reserved for travelers with urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies.
