FAQ

Passport photo questions, Lake Stevens edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Lake Stevens?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Lake Stevens home. The State Department allows you to submit a digital or printed photo you took yourself, provided it meets all federal guidelines. Using a service like Perfect Passport ensures your selfie is properly formatted and compliant before submission.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo quality paper, and feature a plain white or off-white background. 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 are not permitted in U.S. passport photos, 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 shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background rules are the same for infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient on their poses. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera, and their eyes can be closed or partially open. No other person, including parents holding the child, may be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo every time you apply for or renew a U.S. passport. The State Department requires that your photo be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Using an older photo, even if it was accepted previously, will cause your application to be delayed or rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes several weeks, while expedited processing is faster but requires an additional federal fee. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround. If you are applying from Lake Stevens, you can track your application status online through the State Department's website.

The closest regional facility is the Seattle Passport Agency, located about 36 miles south of Lake Stevens.
