FAQ

Passport photo questions, Blacksburg edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Blacksburg?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Blacksburg using a smartphone or digital camera. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white background, and follow all federal guidelines to avoid application delays.

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

Whether you are applying at the Blacksburg Post Office or mailing a renewal, the State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm). The image must be in color, printed on photo-quality paper, and feature your head sized between 1 and 1 3/8 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, glasses are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, even if you wear them daily around Virginia. 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 size and lighting requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' poses. No other people can be in the photo, so Virginia parents often find it easiest to lay their baby on a plain white sheet to take the picture.

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 since your last days at Virginia Tech, federal rules require a recent image to reflect your current look.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks from the time the State Department receives your application. If you pay for expedited service, the processing time is reduced to 2 to 3 weeks, which is helpful if you are flying out of Roanoke or Dulles soon.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Washington Passport Agency, located about 250 miles northeast of Blacksburg. This agency is strictly for life-or-death emergencies or international travel within 14 days and requires an appointment.
