FAQ

Passport photo questions, Scranton edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Scranton?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Scranton as long as it meets all State Department requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting, and have someone else take the picture. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify your digital photo is fully compliant.

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 in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the 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 size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. A baby can be photographed lying down on a plain white sheet or sitting in a car seat covered with a white cloth. Ensure no other people, hands, or pacifiers are visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing 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 about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add several additional weeks to the total wait time.

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

The closest regional agency is the Philadelphia Passport Agency, located about 125 miles south of Scranton. You can only make an appointment there if you have urgent international travel within 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
