FAQ

Passport photo questions, Mission edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Mission?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Mission as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You cannot use a selfie, so you will need a friend or a tripod to take the picture. Using a service like Perfect Passport helps ensure your home photo is fully compliant.

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 printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper and feature a high-resolution color format with a plain white or off-white background.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, 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 requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and eye contact. When taking a baby's photo in Mission, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a white sheet over their car seat.

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 passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed significantly, the State Department requires a recent image to process your renewal.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so it is best to apply well in advance of your planned travel.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Mission is the Houston Passport Agency, located over 350 miles away. Because it is a significant drive from the Rio Grande Valley, it is only recommended to book an appointment there if you have a life-or-death emergency or urgent international travel within 14 days.
