FAQ

Passport photo questions, Syracuse edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Syracuse?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Syracuse as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the photo since selfies are not permitted.

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. 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 or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding eye contact and facial expressions. When photographing a baby in Syracuse, 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 photo when renewing your passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about four to six weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. Mailing times to and from the passport facility are not included in these estimates, so Syracuse residents should plan accordingly.

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

The closest regional facility is the Buffalo Passport Agency, located about two and a half hours west of Syracuse. This agency is exclusively for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for a life-or-death emergency.
