FAQ

Passport photo questions, Austin edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Austin?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Austin as long as it meets strict State Department requirements. Services like Perfect Passport allow you to snap a compliant picture from your home or office using your smartphone. Just make sure you have good lighting and a plain white or off-white background.

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 (51 x 51 mm) 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 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 cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily. 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' poses. 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 or hands can be visible in the frame.

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 be taken within the last six months to 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. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Texas residents should plan ahead for international travel.

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

The closest regional agency for urgent travel is the Houston Passport Agency, located about 165 miles east of Austin. You must make an appointment and provide proof of international travel within 14 days to use this facility.
