FAQ

Passport photo questions, Santa Fe edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Santa Fe?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Santa Fe as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the photo since selfies are not permitted.

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 must be printed in color on high-quality photo paper, and 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 eyeglasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily. 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 photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding eye contact and facial expressions. When taking a baby's passport photo in Santa Fe, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet to ensure a compliant background.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport. The State Department requires your passport photo 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 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited processing takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so New Mexico residents should plan ahead and apply well before any upcoming international travel.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Santa Fe?

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency for urgent travel is the El Paso Passport Agency, located over 300 miles away. Because it is a significant drive from Santa Fe, residents should apply early at a local acceptance facility to avoid needing an urgent, in-person appointment.
