FAQ

Passport photo questions, Harrisburg edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Harrisburg?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Harrisburg as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background and ensure proper lighting without shadows. Selfies are not allowed, so you will need a friend or a tripod to capture the image.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must 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.

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. 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' expressions and head positions. No other people can be in the photo, so parents in Pennsylvania often lay their baby on a plain white sheet to take the picture from above.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your passport, even if your appearance has not changed. The State Department requires all passport photos to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current look.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited processing takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Harrisburg residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Philadelphia Passport Agency, located about 105 miles east of Harrisburg. This agency is only for travelers with life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days, and an appointment is required.
