FAQ

Passport photo questions, New Brunswick edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in New Brunswick?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from anywhere in New Brunswick as long as it meets federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport help ensure your picture is properly cropped, lit, and compliant with State Department rules.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The image must be in color, taken against a plain white or off-white background, and show your full face centered in the frame.

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

No, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily. 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 sizing and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and posture. No other people can be in the frame, so laying your baby on a plain white sheet is a great way to capture the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. The State Department requires your picture to have been taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about six to eight weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. These processing times do not include mailing times, so New Jersey residents should apply well ahead of their planned travel dates.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to New Brunswick?

The closest facility is the New York Passport Agency, located in Manhattan about 40 miles away. This agency is only for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by phone beforehand.
