FAQ

Passport photo questions, Alamogordo edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Alamogordo?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Alamogordo using a smartphone or digital camera. Services like Perfect Passport help ensure your home photo meets all federal requirements before printing. Just make sure you have good lighting and a friend to take the picture, as selfies are not allowed.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image needs to be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and taken against a plain white or off-white background. 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 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 daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without shadows.

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 infant expressions and head positioning. No other people can be in the photo, so laying your baby on a plain white sheet is a great way to capture their passport photo at home in Alamogordo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo will result in your renewal application being delayed or 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 can add several weeks to the total turnaround, so Alamogordo residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the El Paso Passport Agency, located about 90 miles south in Texas. This agency is strictly for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by calling the National Passport Information Center.
