FAQ

Passport photo questions, Allentown edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Allentown?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Allentown as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are prohibited. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify your homemade photo meets State Department standards.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) 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. High-resolution digital formats are also required if you are applying for an online renewal.

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

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Allentown. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be clearly visible without any shadows or obstructions.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants and toddlers. A baby does not need to maintain a perfectly neutral expression or look directly at the camera, and you can lay them on a plain white blanket to take the photo. However, no other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

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

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 federal processing times do not include the time it takes for your application to travel in the mail from Pennsylvania to the processing center. If you have an immediate life-or-death emergency, you may qualify for faster processing at a regional agency.

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

The closest regional facility for Allentown residents is the Philadelphia Passport Agency, located about 60 miles south. This agency only accepts walk-ins by appointment for travelers who have urgent international travel within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility in the Lehigh Valley instead.
