FAQ

Passport photo questions, Cookeville edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Cookeville?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Cookeville as long as it meets all federal requirements. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure even lighting, and have someone else take the picture since selfies are not allowed. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify that your homemade photo is fully compliant before you submit it.

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, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The image must be in color, clear, and high-resolution, with your head measuring between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. Digital photos must also be at least 600 by 600 pixels if you are applying online.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Cookeville. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be clearly visible without any shadows cast by a head covering.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic federal requirements for baby and child passport photos are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient regarding their posture and expression. No other people can be in the photo, so Cookeville parents often find it easiest to lay infants on their backs on a plain white sheet. The child's eyes should ideally be open, though it is acceptable if a newborn's eyes are partially closed.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new passport photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your photo to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance. Even if your look hasn't changed much since your last application, reusing an old photo will cause your renewal to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about six to eight weeks from the time the State Department receives your application. If you pay the federal expedite fee, the processing time is reduced to roughly two to three weeks. Mailing times to and from Cookeville are not included in these estimates, so you should apply well in advance of your trip.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Cookeville is the Atlanta Passport Agency, located about 210 miles away in Georgia. This facility is exclusively for travelers who have a life-or-death emergency or urgent international travel within the next 14 days. You cannot simply walk in; you must call the National Passport Information Center to schedule an appointment.
