FAQ

Passport photo questions, Port Arthur edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Port Arthur?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Port Arthur as long as it meets all federal requirements. You will need a friend or family member to take the picture against a plain white background, as selfies are not permitted. Using a service like Perfect Passport can help ensure your homemade photo passes all State Department checks.

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

Your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches 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 3/8 inches from chin to crown. Digital photos used for online renewals must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

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 in Port Arthur. Hats and head coverings are also banned unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. In all cases, your full face must be visible without any shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements are the same for infants, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about a baby's posture and expression. If you are photographing a newborn in Port Arthur, you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth. Make sure no other people, hands, or pacifiers are visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, recent photo every time you renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the image to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if you look exactly the same as you did when your last Texas passport was issued, reusing an old photo will cause your application to be rejected.

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. If you are planning an international trip from Texas, it is best to apply several months in advance.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Port Arthur?

The closest regional facility is the Houston Passport Agency, located about 90 miles west of Port Arthur. This agency does not accept walk-ins and is only available by appointment for travelers facing life-or-death emergencies or urgent international travel within 14 days. For standard processing, you should use a local acceptance facility like a Port Arthur post office.
