FAQ

Passport photo questions, Elyria edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Elyria?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Elyria as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the picture. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the U.S. Department of State.

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 in size and printed in color on high-quality, uncreased photo paper. Additionally, 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, glasses are not allowed in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Elyria. 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 photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding eye contact and facial expressions. When photographing a baby in Elyria, you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a white cloth over their car seat to ensure a compliant background.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. The U.S. Department of State requires your passport 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 about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the passport processing centers can add a few extra weeks, so Ohio travelers should plan well in advance.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Detroit Passport Agency, located about 120 miles northwest of Elyria. This agency requires an appointment and is only available if you are traveling internationally within 14 days or have a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
