FAQ

Passport photo questions, Roanoke edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Roanoke?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Roanoke home as long as it meets federal guidelines. You must use a plain white or off-white background and ensure the lighting is even with no shadows on your face. Selfies are not permitted, so you will need a friend or a tripod to snap the picture.

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

The State Department requires all passport photos to be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size. The image must be printed in color on high-quality, matte or glossy photo paper. Additionally, 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, glasses have been banned in U.S. passport photos since 2016, so you must remove them 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 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 size and background rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants and toddlers. A baby does not need to maintain a perfectly neutral expression or look directly at the camera, and their eyes can be closed. If you are photographing an infant in Roanoke, laying them on a plain white sheet is usually the easiest method.

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 your picture to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Reusing an old photo from a previous 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 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. Keep in mind that mailing times to and from federal processing centers can add several extra weeks to the total turnaround.

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

The closest regional facility for urgent travel is the Washington Passport Agency, located about 240 miles northeast in Washington, D.C. This agency does not accept walk-ins or handle routine processing. You can only secure an appointment if you have documented international travel within the next 14 days or a qualifying life-or-death emergency.
