FAQ

Passport photo questions, Brownsville edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Brownsville?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Brownsville as long as it meets all federal guidelines. Using a service like Perfect Passport helps ensure your smartphone picture is perfectly cropped and compliant before you submit it. Just make sure you have good lighting and a plain white background, whether you are at home or enjoying the South Texas sun.

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

The State Department requires all U.S. passport photos to be exactly 2x2 inches in size. The image must be printed on high-quality photo paper or submitted as a high-resolution digital file if applying online. 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. Your full face must be clearly visible without any shadows, whether you are applying in Brownsville or anywhere else in Texas.

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. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera or have their eyes completely open. You can lay your infant on a plain white sheet to easily capture a compliant photo from the comfort of your Brownsville home.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo taken within the last six months when renewing your U.S. passport. You cannot reuse the picture from your old passport or any other previous travel document. This ensures your current appearance is accurately represented for security purposes before you cross the border or fly out of Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport.

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, which can add several weeks to the total turnaround. It is highly recommended to apply well in advance of any planned international travel from South Texas.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agencies to Brownsville are located in Houston and San Antonio, both of which are over 250 miles away. These regional agencies are strictly for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies and require an appointment. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility like a post office right here in Cameron County.
