FAQ

Passport photo questions, Chesapeake edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Chesapeake?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home in Chesapeake using a smartphone or digital camera. The State Department allows self-taken photos as long as they meet all official requirements, such as having a plain white background and proper lighting. Just make sure someone else takes the picture, as selfies are strictly prohibited.

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

Your printed passport photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and 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 purposes or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding their posture and facial expressions. If you are photographing a baby in Chesapeake, you can lay them on their back on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth to ensure a compliant background.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you apply for or renew a U.S. passport. The State Department requires that your passport photo 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 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing centers can add a few extra weeks, so Chesapeake residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Washington Passport Agency, located about 200 miles north in Washington, D.C. This agency is only for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for a life-or-death emergency, and an appointment is required.
