FAQ

Passport photo questions, Lorain edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Lorain?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Lorain as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You will need a plain white or off-white background, good lighting, and someone else to take the picture for you, as selfies are not permitted.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality photo paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1.375 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 Lorain. 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. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera, and you can lay them on a plain white sheet to capture the photo.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo whenever you renew your passport. The State Department requires the picture to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about six to eight weeks from the time the application is received. If you pay for expedited service, the processing time is reduced to approximately two to three weeks.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Detroit Passport Agency, located about 145 miles away. You can only use this agency if you have a life-or-death emergency or confirmed international travel within 14 days.
