FAQ

Passport photo questions, Richmond edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Richmond?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo anywhere in Richmond as long as it meets all U.S. State Department requirements. Using a service like Perfect Passport allows you to snap a compliant photo from your home, ensuring the lighting, background, and sizing are correct before submission.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, 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 purposes or a doctor's statement for medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and lighting rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. If you're photographing your baby at home in Richmond, you can lay them on a plain white sheet or drape a car seat with a white cloth to get the shot.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport, even if your appearance hasn't changed much. The State Department requires your passport photo to be taken within the last six months, so you cannot reuse an old photo from a previous Virginia driver's license or passport.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes 4 to 6 weeks. If you pay for expedited service, processing takes 2 to 3 weeks, not including the time it takes to mail your application from Richmond to the processing center.

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

The closest regional facility is the Washington Passport Agency, located about 110 miles north of Richmond in Washington, D.C. You can only make an appointment there if you have urgent international travel within 14 calendar days or a life-or-death emergency.
