FAQ

Passport photo questions, Mount Vernon edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Mount Vernon?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Mount Vernon 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 photo for you.

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 printed on high-quality photo paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head.

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

No, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in passport photos, even if you wear them daily in Mount Vernon. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants' expressions and eye contact. If you are photographing a baby in Mount Vernon, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or cover a car seat with a white sheet to get the shot.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last Washington ID or passport photo, an older picture will cause your application to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited processing takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times to and from the processing center can add a few extra weeks, so Mount Vernon residents should apply well in advance of their trip.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Mount Vernon?

The closest regional facility is the Seattle Passport Agency, located about an hour south of Mount Vernon. This agency is only for travelers who need an expedited passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency.
