FAQ

Passport photo questions, Lancaster edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Lancaster?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Lancaster as long as it meets all federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport help ensure your smartphone picture is perfectly cropped and compliant with State Department rules.

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 must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head.

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

No, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily. 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 size and formatting rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. A baby can be photographed lying on a plain white blanket, and it is acceptable if their eyes are not entirely open or looking perfectly at the camera.

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 significantly, the State Department requires a recent image to process your renewal.

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, so Lancaster residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Detroit Passport Agency, located about 230 miles north of Lancaster. This agency is only for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by calling the National Passport Information Center.
