FAQ

Passport photo questions, Eau Claire edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Eau Claire?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Eau Claire as long as it meets all federal guidelines. You must use a clear, unedited color image taken against a plain white or off-white background. Selfies are not permitted, so you will need a friend or a tripod to take the picture for you.

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 on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, 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, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily around Eau Claire. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited 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 background requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infant poses. A baby can be photographed lying on their back on a plain white blanket, and it is acceptable if a newborn's eyes are not entirely open. No other people or hands can be visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo whenever you apply for or renew a U.S. passport. The State Department requires your picture to have been 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 4 to 6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These estimates do not include mailing times, which can add up to two additional weeks to the total turnaround. Wisconsin travelers should apply well in advance of their planned departure dates.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Eau Claire?

The closest regional facility is the Minneapolis Passport Agency, located just across the border in Minnesota. This agency is exclusively for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or for life-or-death emergencies. For routine processing, you can simply use a local acceptance facility right here in Eau Claire.
