FAQ

Passport photo questions, Katy edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Katy?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Katy using a smartphone or digital camera. You just need a well-lit area with a plain white or off-white background, and a friend to take the shot since selfies are not allowed. Services like Perfect Passport can help ensure your DIY photo meets all federal guidelines.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches in size and printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. Additionally, 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, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing eyeglasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily. Hats and head coverings are also banned 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' expressions and eye contact. If you are photographing a baby in Katy, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet to get the shot.

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 your photo 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?

Currently, routine passport processing takes 4 to 6 weeks. If you request expedited service, processing takes 2 to 3 weeks, though mailing times can add additional weeks to your total turnaround.

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

The closest regional facility is the Houston Passport Agency, located about 30 miles east of Katy. You can only make an appointment there if you have a life-or-death emergency or urgent international travel within 14 calendar days.
