FAQ

Passport photo questions, Philadelphia edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Philadelphia?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Philadelphia home as long as it meets all State Department requirements. You will need a well-lit space with a plain white or off-white background, and someone else must take the photo for you since selfies are not permitted.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The image must be in color, clear, and unedited, with your head centered and sized 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, you cannot wear glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Philadelphia. 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 for infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about a baby's eyes being perfectly open or looking directly at the camera. If you are photographing your baby at home in Pennsylvania, laying them on a plain white blanket or covering their car seat with a white sheet works best.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you apply for or renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Pennsylvania residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest agency is the Philadelphia Passport Agency, conveniently located in Center City at the Robert N.C. Nix Federal Building. You can only visit this agency by appointment if you have urgent international travel within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
