FAQ

Passport photo questions, Grand Forks edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Grand Forks?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Grand Forks using a smartphone or digital camera. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white background, and someone else to take the picture, as the State Department does not allow selfies.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches in size and printed on matte or glossy photo paper. The image must be in color, 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, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your U.S. passport photo, 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 photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants, allowing them to be photographed lying down on a plain white sheet. No other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the baby's photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport, even if your appearance has not changed much. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been taken within the last six months to accurately reflect 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. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so North Dakota residents should apply well in advance of their international trip.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Grand Forks?

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Grand Forks is the Minneapolis Passport Agency, located over 300 miles away. Because of the distance, most local residents apply at a nearby post office unless they have a life-or-death travel emergency requiring an in-person agency appointment.
