FAQ

Passport photo questions, Johnson City edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Johnson City?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Johnson City as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a clear, unedited color photo taken against a plain white or off-white background.

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

The State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm). 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, glasses are strictly prohibited in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily around Johnson City. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed 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 photo requirements are the same for infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their expressions and eye contact. Since no other people can be in the frame, Tennessee parents often lay babies on a plain white blanket to take 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 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 federal processing centers can add a few extra weeks to your total turnaround time.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Johnson City?

The closest regional facility is the Atlanta Passport Agency, located about 255 miles south of Johnson City. Because it is a significant drive from East Tennessee, it is generally only used for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days.
