FAQ

Passport photo questions, Alvin edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Alvin?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Alvin as long as you follow all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting, and have someone else take the picture. Services like Perfect Passport make it easy to verify your photo meets these strict requirements from home.

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

The State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Alvin. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited 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 rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and posture. No other people can be in the photo, so laying your baby on a plain white sheet at home in Alvin is often the easiest method.

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 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 six to eight weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. These federal processing times do not include the time it takes for your application to travel in the mail from Texas to the processing center.

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

The closest regional facility is the Houston Passport Agency, located about 30 miles north of Alvin. You can only schedule an appointment there if you are traveling internationally within 14 days or have a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
