FAQ

Passport photo questions, Niagara Falls edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Niagara Falls?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Niagara Falls as long as it meets all federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport make this easy by verifying your photo against State Department rules right from your smartphone. Just ensure you have good lighting and a plain white background.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size and printed in color on high-quality photo paper. Additionally, 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 your passport photo, even if you wear them every day. Hats and head coverings are also forbidden 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. For example, a newborn's eyes do not need to be entirely open, and you can lay them on a plain white sheet to take the photo. Just make sure no other people or hands are visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, recent photo when renewing your U.S. passport. The State Department requires that your passport photo be 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 six to eight weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. If you are mailing your application from New York, remember to factor in additional transit time to and from the federal processing center.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Niagara Falls?

The closest regional facility is the Buffalo Passport Agency, located just a short drive away in downtown Buffalo. You can only secure an appointment there if you have urgent international travel within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
