FAQ

Passport photo questions, Mint Hill edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Mint Hill?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Mint Hill as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are not allowed.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 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, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, 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 photo rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding their posture and expression. When photographing a baby at your Mint Hill home, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet to ensure the background is compliant.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. The State Department requires your picture 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 up to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times can add several additional weeks to the total door-to-door turnaround, so North Carolina residents should plan their travel accordingly.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Mint Hill?

The closest regional agency for urgent travel is the Charleston Passport Center in South Carolina, located about 200 miles away. You can only use this facility if you have a life-or-death emergency or urgent international travel within 14 days.
