FAQ

Passport photo questions, Providence edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Providence?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Providence as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the photo since selfies are strictly prohibited.

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, whether you print it at a Providence pharmacy or order it online. The image must be printed in color on 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 around Providence. 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 note for medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and formatting rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera or have their eyes fully open, but no other people or hands can be visible in the frame. Laying the infant on a plain white sheet is a popular method for parents in Rhode Island.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, whether you are renewing by mail from Rhode Island or applying in person, you must submit a new photo. 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?

As of 2026, routine passport processing takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Rhode Island residents should apply well in advance of their trip, as these estimates do not include mailing times which can add up to two weeks.

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

The closest regional facility to Providence is the Boston Passport Agency in Massachusetts. This agency only accepts in-person appointments for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for life-or-death emergencies.
