FAQ

Passport photo questions, Bethlehem edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Bethlehem?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Bethlehem as long as it meets all federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport make this easy by verifying your smartphone photo against State Department requirements. Just ensure you have good lighting and a plain white or off-white background.

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 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 basic size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. A baby does not need to be looking directly at the camera, but no other person can be in the photo. Laying your infant on a plain white sheet in your Bethlehem home is often the easiest way to capture their picture.

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 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 processing takes 2 to 3 weeks for an additional government fee. Mailing times from Pennsylvania to the processing center can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround time.

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

The closest regional facility is the Philadelphia Passport Agency, located roughly 60 miles south of Bethlehem. This agency only accepts appointments for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies.
