FAQ

Passport photo questions, Galveston edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Galveston?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Galveston as long as it meets all federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport make it easy to snap a compliant picture from home without needing professional equipment. Just ensure 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 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper and clearly show your full face, with your head measuring between 1 and 1.375 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the 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 in Texas. Hats and head coverings are also forbidden 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. No other person can be in the photo, so laying your baby on a plain white sheet is a popular trick for Galveston parents.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal. 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 six to eight weeks, while expedited service takes two to three weeks. These federal processing times do not include mailing times to and from the passport facility, so Galveston travelers should plan ahead.

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

The closest regional facility is the Houston Passport Agency, located about 50 miles northwest of Galveston. This agency is strictly for travelers who need an emergency passport for life-or-death situations or urgent international travel within 14 days.
