FAQ

Passport photo questions, Fargo edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Fargo?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Fargo as long as it meets all federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport make this easy by verifying your picture against State Department rules. Just ensure you have good lighting and a plain white or off-white background in your home.

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. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head.

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

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Fargo. Hats and head coverings are also banned 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 background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. For example, a baby does not need to look directly at the camera, and you can lay them on a plain white sheet to take the photo. Just make sure 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 every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the image to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes up to 6 to 8 weeks, though times can fluctuate based on seasonal federal demand. If you pay for expedited service, you can generally receive your passport in 2 to 3 weeks.

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

The closest regional facility to Fargo is the Minneapolis Passport Agency, located about 235 miles away in Minnesota. This agency requires an appointment and is strictly for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days.
