FAQ

Passport photo questions, Dayton edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Dayton?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Dayton as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting, and have someone else take the photo or use a tripod. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the State Department.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) 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.

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

No, the State Department does not allow glasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Ohio. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. When photographing your baby in Dayton, no other person can be in the frame, but you can lay the infant on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth.

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 photo to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance.

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. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add up to four additional weeks, so Dayton travelers should apply well in advance of their trip.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency is located in Detroit, Michigan, approximately 200 miles north of Dayton. This facility is strictly for travelers with life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days, and you must have an appointment to enter.
