FAQ

Passport photo questions, Monroe edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Monroe?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Monroe as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, and selfies are not permitted, so have a friend or family member snap the picture.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The image must be in color, clear, and taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed unless you provide 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, allowing them to be photographed lying on a plain white blanket. No other people, hands, or props can be visible in the frame with the child.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you apply for or renew your U.S. passport. The photo must have been taken within the last six months to ensure it accurately represents how you look today.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times can add up to four extra weeks to the total turnaround, so North Carolina residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Charleston Passport Center, located about 185 miles south in North Charleston, South Carolina. You can only secure an appointment there if you have a life-or-death emergency or are traveling internationally within 14 days.
