FAQ

Passport photo questions, Edinburg edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Edinburg?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Edinburg as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a clear, unedited color image taken against a plain white or off-white background. Selfies are not permitted, so you will need a friend or a tripod to capture the shot.

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 printed on high-quality, glossy or matte photo paper without any digital alterations or filters. 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 in Edinburg. 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 visible without any shadows or obscured features.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera, and you can lay them on a plain white sheet to take the photo. However, no other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. The State Department requires your picture to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if your look has not changed much, reusing an old photo will cause your application to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes several weeks, while expedited service can reduce the wait time for an additional federal fee. These processing timeframes do not include the mailing time to and from the passport facility. It is always best for Edinburg travelers to apply months in advance of any planned international trips.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Edinburg is located in Houston, which is over 300 miles away. These regional agencies are strictly for life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days, and they require a scheduled appointment. For routine applications or renewals, you should use a local acceptance facility or mail your forms from Texas.
