FAQ

Passport photo questions, Raleigh edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Raleigh?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Raleigh as long as it meets all federal requirements. Services like Perfect Passport make it easy to snap a compliant picture from your home in the Triangle. Just ensure you have good lighting and a plain white or off-white background.

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

The State Department requires all U.S. passport photos to be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be printed in color 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 in Raleigh. 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 federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses and expressions. When photographing your baby in North Carolina, no other person can be in the frame, but you can lay the infant on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. The State Department requires that your passport picture be 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 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These federal processing times do not include mailing times to and from the passport facility, so North Carolina residents should plan their international travel accordingly.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agencies to Raleigh are located in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, Georgia. These specialized federal facilities are strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and they require an appointment.
