FAQ

Passport photo questions, Milwaukee edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Milwaukee?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Milwaukee 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 or use a tripod. Selfies are strictly prohibited by the State Department.

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 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. Digital photos used for online renewal must be at least 600 by 600 pixels.

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 in Milwaukee. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious or medical reasons. Your full face must be visible without any shadows.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic photo requirements for babies and young children are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their posture and expression. Infants can be photographed lying on their back on a plain white blanket or sitting in a car seat draped with a white cloth. No other people, including parents holding the child, 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 renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires your passport photo to be taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Using an old photo from a previous passport will result in your application being delayed or rejected.

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 timeframes do not include mailing times, which can add up to two weeks on each end of the process. If you are applying at a facility in Milwaukee, it is best to submit your application well ahead of your planned travel.

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

The closest regional U.S. Passport Agency to Milwaukee is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 90 miles south in Illinois. This facility is strictly for urgent travel within 14 days or life-or-death emergencies, and you must schedule an appointment by phone in advance. For routine processing, you should use a local acceptance facility in Wisconsin instead.
