FAQ

Passport photo questions, Winston-Salem edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Winston-Salem?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo at home in Winston-Salem as long as it meets all U.S. State Department requirements. Services like Perfect Passport allow you to use your smartphone to capture a compliant image without visiting a local pharmacy or studio. 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?

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size and printed in color on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. Your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. Whether you print it in North Carolina or order it online, the image must be clear and unedited.

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 purposes or a doctor's statement for medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera, and you can lay them on their back on a plain white blanket to take the photo. Ensure no other people or hands are visible in the frame.

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 your passport photo to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

As of 2026, routine passport processing takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add up to two weeks to the total turnaround for North Carolina residents.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Winston-Salem?

Winston-Salem does not have a regional U.S. Passport Agency for urgent, last-minute travel. The closest official agencies are located in Washington, D.C., Charleston, South Carolina, and Atlanta, Georgia, all of which are over 250 miles away. For routine service or standard expediting, you can use local acceptance facilities like post offices or the Winston-Salem State University passport office.
