FAQ

Passport photo questions, Pittsburgh edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Pittsburgh?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Pittsburgh as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting, and have someone else take the picture or use a tripod.

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

The State Department requires 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.

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 in Pennsylvania. 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 photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding closed eyes or looking directly at the camera. If you are photographing a baby in Pittsburgh, laying them on a plain white blanket or covering a car seat with a white sheet works best.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last Pennsylvania ID or passport was issued, an older photo will cause your application to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes several weeks, while expedited service offers a faster turnaround. Mailing times to and from the processing centers can add a few extra weeks to the total wait time for Pittsburgh residents.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Buffalo Passport Agency, located about 215 miles north of Pittsburgh in New York. You must schedule an appointment by phone, and these are reserved exclusively for life-or-death emergencies or international travel within 14 days.
