FAQ

Passport photo questions, Williston edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Williston?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo in Williston using a smartphone or digital camera. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white background, and someone else to take the picture, as selfies are not allowed. Services like Perfect Passport can then verify your photo meets all federal requirements.

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. The image needs to be printed in color on high-quality photo 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 formats must also be high-resolution and uncompressed.

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 Williston. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be clearly visible without any shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic sizing and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. 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, hands, or pacifiers are visible in the frame.

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 much since your last application, using an older photo will cause your renewal to be rejected. It's best to snap a fresh picture before mailing your application from Williston.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times to and from the processing centers, which can add several weeks to the total wait. If you are applying from North Dakota, plan ahead and apply well before your trip.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Williston is the Minneapolis Passport Agency in Minnesota, which is over 500 miles away. Because of the distance, most Williston residents should apply at a local acceptance facility or renew by mail unless they have a life-or-death emergency. Passport agencies are strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days and require an appointment.
