FAQ

Passport photo questions, Knoxville edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Knoxville?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Knoxville as long as it meets strict federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting without shadows, and have someone else take the picture. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the State Department.

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

Your printed passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size, printed on high-quality photo paper. The image must be in color, clear, and feature your head centered, measuring between 1 and 1.375 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, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. For example, a baby's eyes do not need to be entirely open, and you can lay them on a plain white sheet to take the photo. No other people, including parents holding the child, can be visible in the frame.

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 the image to be 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 several weeks, while expedited service can shave a few weeks off the timeline. Because processing times fluctuate throughout the year, Tennessee travelers should check the official State Department website for the most up-to-date estimates before applying.

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

The closest regional facility is the Atlanta Passport Agency, located about 214 miles south of Knoxville in Georgia. This agency is exclusively for travelers with life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days, and an appointment is required.
