FAQ

Passport photo questions, Rochester edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Rochester?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Rochester as long as it meets federal guidelines. You just need a friend or family member to take the picture against a plain white or off-white background. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the U.S. State Department.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be printed in color on matte or glossy photo-quality 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 forbids wearing eyeglasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily. 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 photo requirements are the same, but infants are not required to look directly at the camera or have their eyes fully open. If you are photographing a baby in Rochester, you can lay them on their back on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to 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 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Rochester residents should apply well in advance of their planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Buffalo Passport Agency, located about 75 miles west of Rochester. This agency is strictly for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
