FAQ

Passport photo questions, Wilkes-Barre edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Wilkes-Barre?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Wilkes-Barre as long as it meets all federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport make this easy by verifying your 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?

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 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. Digital photos must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

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 Wilkes-Barre. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements for babies and young children are the same as for adults. However, the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants, allowing them to be photographed lying on a plain white sheet or in a car seat covered with a white cloth. No other people, including parents, can be visible in the photo.

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 have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if you look the same as you did in your old Pennsylvania ID or passport, an updated photo is mandatory.

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. These timeframes begin the day the passport agency receives your application, not the day you mail it from Wilkes-Barre. Mailing times can add several weeks to the total door-to-door process.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Wilkes-Barre?

The closest regional facility is the Philadelphia Passport Agency, located about 110 miles south of Wilkes-Barre. This agency is only for travelers with life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For routine applications or renewals, you should use a local acceptance facility or apply by mail.
