FAQ

Passport photo questions, Newport News edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Newport News?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Newport News as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background, ensure proper lighting, and have someone else take the picture. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the U.S. State Department.

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

Whether you print it at a Newport News pharmacy or order it online, your U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm). The image must be printed on high-quality, uncreased photo paper with your head measuring between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head. It must also be a color photo taken within the last six months.

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

No, the State Department does not allow glasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Virginia. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited 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 federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding closed eyes or looking away from the camera. If you are photographing a baby at home in Newport News, laying them on a plain white sheet or draping a car seat with a white cloth works best. No other people, hands, or pacifiers can be visible in the frame.

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 picture to reflect your current appearance and be taken within the last six months. Using an old photo from a previous Virginia driver's license or an expired passport will result in your application being delayed or 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. Mailing times from Virginia to the federal processing center can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround time. If you have immediate travel plans, you may need to secure an emergency appointment at a regional agency.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Newport News?

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Washington Passport Agency in Washington, D.C., located about 170 miles north of Newport News. This agency is not a standard post office and only accepts walk-ins by appointment for life-or-death emergencies or international travel within 14 days. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility in the Hampton Roads area instead.
