FAQ

Passport photo questions, Las Cruces edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Las Cruces?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Las Cruces as long as it meets all federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport can help you format your home photo to ensure it complies 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 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. It should be printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper and feature a high-resolution color image with a plain white or off-white background.

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 Las Cruces. 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 infant expressions. No other people can be in the photo, so parents often lay babies on a plain white sheet to take the picture.

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 passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last New Mexico trip, the State Department requires a recent image to process the renewal.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine processing for a U.S. passport typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited processing takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround time.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Las Cruces?

The closest regional facility is the El Paso Passport Agency in neighboring Texas. This agency is strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by phone.
