FAQ

Passport photo questions, Buffalo edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Buffalo?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Buffalo as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a clear, unedited color image taken against a plain white or off-white background. Selfies are not permitted, so you will need a friend or a tripod to capture the shot.

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

The State Department requires your passport photo to be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be printed on high-quality, glossy or matte photo paper without any smudges or creases. 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 must be removed for all U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Buffalo. 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 visible without any shadows cast by hair or clothing.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements are the same for infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their poses. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera or have a completely neutral expression, and their eyes can be partially closed. However, no other people, hands, or props can be visible in the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo that was taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last passport was issued, using an older photo will cause your application to be rejected. This rule applies whether you are mailing your renewal from Buffalo or applying in person.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes several weeks, though exact timelines fluctuate throughout the year based on national demand. You can pay an extra government fee for expedited processing to shorten the wait time. If you are applying at a local Buffalo acceptance facility, remember that mailing times add to the total turnaround.

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

The closest regional facility is the Buffalo Passport Agency, conveniently located downtown at 111 Genesee Street. This agency does not accept routine applications and is strictly for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency. You must call the National Passport Information Center to schedule an appointment before visiting.
