FAQ

Passport photo questions, Saratoga Springs edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Saratoga Springs?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Saratoga Springs as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the photo or use a tripod.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 x 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 around Saratoga Springs. 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant photos. No other person can be in the photo, but you can lay your baby on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet to take the picture.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport, whether you mail it from New York or renew online. The State Department requires that your passport photo be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

As of mid-2026, routine passport processing takes 4 to 6 weeks, not including mailing times to and from New York. Expedited service is available and typically takes 2 to 3 weeks.
