FAQ

Passport photo questions, Maple Valley edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Maple Valley?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Maple Valley home using a smartphone or digital camera. The State Department does not permit selfies, so you will need to have a friend or family member snap the picture for you. Services like Perfect Passport help ensure your home photo meets all federal requirements.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 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 1.375 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 any shadows cast by a head covering.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic size and background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. A baby does not need to look directly at the camera or have a perfectly neutral expression, and their eyes can be partially closed. You can lay your baby on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet to capture the photo.

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 passport photo to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Reusing an old photo 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. These timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add several weeks to the total process. If you are planning an international trip from the Seattle area, it is highly recommended to apply well in advance.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Maple Valley?

The closest regional facility is the Seattle Passport Agency, located about 30 miles away in downtown Seattle. This agency is exclusively for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for life-or-death emergencies. You cannot walk in for routine service; you must call the national scheduling center to secure an appointment.
