FAQ

Passport photo questions, Minot edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Minot?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo in Minot using a smartphone or digital camera. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white background, and follow all federal guidelines for facial expression and framing. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify your photo meets all government requirements before submission.

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

The State Department requires your passport photo to be exactly 2x2 inches in size. The image must be printed 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. Digital photos must be at least 600 by 600 pixels and saved in JPEG format.

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

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Minot. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without any shadows cast by a head covering.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background rules are the same for infants and toddlers, but the State Department is slightly more lenient regarding their posture and expression. For example, a newborn photographed in Minot can be laid on a plain white blanket, and their eyes do not need to be completely open. However, no other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo whenever you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires that your passport photo be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance. Even if your look hasn't changed much since your last North Dakota winter, an older photo will cause your application to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 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 extra weeks on either end of the process. If you are applying from Minot, it is highly recommended to submit your application well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Minot is the Minneapolis Passport Agency in Minnesota, located roughly 490 miles away. This facility is strictly for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency. For routine processing or standard renewals, Minot residents should use a local acceptance facility or apply by mail.
