FAQ

Passport photo questions, Linden edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Linden?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo right from your home in Linden. You just need a smartphone, good lighting, and a plain white or off-white background. Make sure someone else takes the picture, as selfies are strictly prohibited by the State Department.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 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, glasses are not allowed in U.S. passport photos, 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 daily for religious or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera, and you can lay them on a plain white sheet to take the photo. Just ensure no other people or hands are visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport, even if your appearance hasn't changed much. The State Department requires all passport photos to be taken within the last six months. Using an old photo will cause your application to be delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks from the time the State Department receives your application. If you pay for expedited service, the processing time is reduced to 2 to 3 weeks. Keep in mind that mailing times from New Jersey can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Linden?

The closest regional facility is the New York Passport Agency, located just across the river in Manhattan. This agency is only for travelers who have a life-or-death emergency or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility or post office in Union County instead.
