FAQ

Passport photo questions, Kernersville edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Kernersville?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Kernersville as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background and ensure the lighting is even without shadows.

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 show your head centered, measuring between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the 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. 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 infants' expressions and head positions. No other people can be in the photo, so it is often easiest to lay the baby on a plain white blanket at home in Kernersville.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance has not changed, the State Department requires a recent image to process the renewal.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround time.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agencies for urgent travel are located in Charleston, South Carolina, and Washington, D.C. Because these agencies are over 250 miles away, most Kernersville residents should apply at a local North Carolina acceptance facility unless traveling internationally within 14 days.
