FAQ

Passport photo questions, Mount Vernon edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Mount Vernon?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Mount Vernon as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are strictly prohibited. Using a digital service can help verify that your homemade photo is fully compliant before you print it.

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 (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed on high-quality, matte or glossy photo paper and cannot be digitally altered or retouched. 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, you must remove your eyeglasses for your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Mount Vernon. 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 any shadows cast by a head covering.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements are the same for infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their posture and expression. For a baby's photo, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a white sheet over a car seat. Make sure no other people, hands, or pacifiers are visible in the final picture.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new passport photo that was taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last application, federal rules require a recent image to reflect your current look. Using an older photo is one of the most common reasons for application delays.

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. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add a few extra weeks to the total process. If you are applying at a Mount Vernon acceptance facility, it is best to submit your application well ahead of your planned travel dates.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Mount Vernon?

The closest regional facility is the Connecticut Passport Agency in Stamford, though the New York Passport Agency in Manhattan is also nearby. These specialized agencies do not accept walk-ins and are strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility in Westchester County instead.
