FAQ

Passport photo questions, Bismarck edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Bismarck?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo at home in Bismarck using a smartphone or digital camera. Services like Perfect Passport ensure your photo meets all State Department requirements before you submit it.

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. It must be printed in color on high-quality photo paper, with your head measuring 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, the State Department strictly prohibits glasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed 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 size and lighting rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and head positions. When taking a baby's passport photo in Bismarck, you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth to ensure a compliant background.

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 hasn't changed significantly, the State Department will reject your application if you reuse an old photo.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These estimates do not include mailing times, so North Dakota residents should plan ahead and apply well before their international trip.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency is the Minneapolis Passport Agency, located over 400 miles away. Because of this distance, most Bismarck residents use a local acceptance facility like the Post Office for routine applications, unless they have a life-or-death emergency requiring a long drive or flight.
