FAQ

Passport photo questions, Albuquerque edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Albuquerque?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Albuquerque as long as it meets all federal guidelines. Using a service like Perfect Passport helps ensure your image is properly formatted and compliant with State Department rules. Just make sure you have good lighting and a plain white or off-white background.

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 and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The image must be in color, clear, and feature your full face centered in the frame. Digital photos must also adhere to specific pixel dimensions and compression standards set by the State Department.

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

No, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Albuquerque. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be clearly visible without any shadows cast by clothing.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants and toddlers. A baby does not need to maintain a completely neutral expression, and their eyes can be slightly closed. However, no other people, hands, or props can be visible in the photo, even if you are supporting the child.

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 significantly. The State Department requires that all passport photos be taken within the last six months. Using an older 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 to and from the processing center can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround. If you are applying from Albuquerque, it is best to submit your application well in advance of your planned international trip.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Albuquerque is the El Paso Passport Agency, located over 260 miles away in Texas. These regional agencies are strictly for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility in New Mexico instead.
