FAQ

Passport photo questions, Rome edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Rome?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Rome 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 service like Perfect Passport can help verify your home photo meets these strict standards.

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 (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily for vision correction. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's statement for medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera, and you can lay them on a plain white sheet to take the photo. Just make sure no other people, hands, or pacifiers are visible in the frame.

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 the image 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 generally takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited processing takes 2 to 3 weeks for an additional fee. Processing times can fluctuate throughout the year, so Rome residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Buffalo Passport Agency, located about 190 miles west of Rome. This agency does not accept walk-ins and is strictly for travelers who have an international departure within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
