FAQ

Passport photo questions, Tacoma edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Tacoma?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Tacoma as long as it meets all U.S. State Department requirements. You must use a clear, unedited color photo taken against a plain white or off-white background. Selfies are not allowed, so you will need a friend or a tripod to capture the image.

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

Your printed passport photo must be exactly 2 by 2 inches in size, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. The image must be high resolution, 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, the State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Washington. Hats and head coverings are also forbidden 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 federal size and background rules apply to infants and children, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their poses. A baby can be photographed lying on a plain white blanket or sitting in a car seat draped with a white cloth, and their eyes do not need to be fully open. No other person may be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo whenever you apply for a passport renewal, whether you mail it from Tacoma or apply online. The State Department requires your photo to have been taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing typically takes several weeks, while expedited service can shorten the timeline for an additional federal fee. Because processing times fluctuate throughout the year, Tacoma residents should check the official State Department website for the most current estimates before planning international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Seattle Passport Agency, located about 34 miles north of Tacoma in downtown Seattle. This agency does not accept walk-ins and only provides in-person appointments for travelers facing life-or-death emergencies or urgent international departures within 14 days.
