FAQ

Passport photo questions, Appleton edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Appleton?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Appleton as long as it meets all strict State Department requirements. Using a service like Perfect Passport helps ensure your DIY photo has the correct lighting, background, and dimensions to be accepted.

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 and printed in color on high-quality photo paper. Whether you print it at an Appleton pharmacy or order prints online, 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 your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Appleton. 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 size and formatting rules are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. No other people can be in the photo, so laying your baby on a plain white sheet at home in Appleton is often the easiest method.

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 Wisconsin winter, the State Department requires a recent image to process your renewal.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited processing takes 2 to 3 weeks. Mailing times can add several weeks to the total turnaround, so Appleton residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 195 miles south of Appleton. This agency is exclusively for travelers who need an emergency passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency.
