FAQ

Passport photo questions, Princeton edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Princeton?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home in Princeton using a smartphone. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white background, and use a service that checks for State Department compliance.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches in size and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. 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, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Princeton. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed 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' expressions and head positions. When photographing your baby in New Jersey, lay them on a plain white blanket and 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 taken within the last six months when renewing your U.S. passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last application, using an old photo will cause your renewal to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add several additional weeks to the total turnaround time.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Philadelphia Passport Agency, located about 45 miles southwest of Princeton. This agency is strictly for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days, and appointments are required.
