FAQ

Passport photo questions, Aiken edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Aiken?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Aiken home using a smartphone or digital camera. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white or off-white background, and follow all federal guidelines to avoid application delays.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size and printed in color on high-quality photo paper. Additionally, 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 must remove your eyeglasses for your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in South Carolina. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn continuously for religious or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic federal size and background rules still apply, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses and expressions. When photographing your baby in Aiken, ensure no other people or hands are in the frame, though newborns may have their eyes partially closed.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your picture to have been 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 generally takes about 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service is faster. If you are applying from Aiken, remember to factor in up to two weeks of additional mailing time for your documents to travel to and from the federal processing center.

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

The closest regional facility is the Atlanta Passport Agency, located about 165 miles west of Aiken. This agency is strictly for urgent international travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by phone before visiting.
