FAQ

Passport photo questions, Clayton edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Clayton?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Clayton as long as it meets all strict federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the picture. 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 and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality 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 does not allow glasses in passport photos, even if you wear them every day in North Carolina. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you provide a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical purposes.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The core federal size and background requirements remain the same for babies and young children. However, infants can be photographed lying on their back on a plain white blanket or sitting in a car seat draped with a white sheet. No other people, including parents, can be visible in the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you apply for a U.S. passport renewal. The State Department requires your photo to have been 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. Keep in mind that mailing times to and from the federal processing center can add a few extra weeks to your total wait.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Clayton is the Washington Passport Agency in Washington, D.C., located over 250 miles away. These regional agencies are strictly for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, you can simply use a local acceptance facility right here in Johnston County.
