FAQ

Passport photo questions, Lima edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Lima?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Lima as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the picture or use a tripod. 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. 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 high resolution and unedited.

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

No, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Lima. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's statement for medical reasons. Your full face must be visible without any shadows cast by clothing.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements for babies and young children are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient regarding their exact pose. Infants can be photographed lying on their back on a plain white blanket or sitting in a car seat covered with a white sheet. No other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo from a previous passport will cause your renewal application to be delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 4 to 6 weeks from the time the application is received. If you pay for expedited service, the processing time is reduced to 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Lima residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Lima is the Detroit Passport Agency in Michigan. This facility handles expedited processing for urgent travel, but it requires an appointment and proof of international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, you can use a local acceptance facility like the Lima post office.
