FAQ

Passport photo questions, Salem edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Salem?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Salem as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are strictly prohibited.

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 (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be printed in color 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, glasses are not allowed in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them every day. 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.

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 and toddlers. For example, a newborn's eyes don't need to be entirely open, and Oregon parents can lay their baby on a plain white blanket to take the photo. No other people or hands can be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. The State Department requires your passport photo to have been 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 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Salem residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Seattle Passport Agency, located about 220 miles north of Salem. You can only make an appointment there if you have urgent international travel within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
