FAQ

Passport photo questions, University Place edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in University Place?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in University Place as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You just need a smartphone, good lighting, and a plain white or off-white background. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify that your image meets all official 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 in size. The image must be printed in color on matte or glossy photo-quality 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo unless you have a signed doctor's note for medical reasons. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless worn daily for religious or medical purposes, and they must not cast shadows on your face.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding eye contact and facial expressions. When taking a baby's passport photo in University Place, you can lay them on a plain white blanket or drape a car seat with a white sheet.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo when renewing your U.S. passport. The State Department requires that your passport photo be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance.

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. Mailing times can add several weeks to the total turnaround, so Washington residents should apply well in advance of their trip.
