FAQ

Passport photo questions, Waukesha edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Waukesha?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from anywhere in Waukesha using a smartphone. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white background, and follow all federal guidelines. Services like Perfect Passport can help verify your image meets all requirements.

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

The State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm). The image must be in color, printed 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, even if you wear them daily in Waukesha. 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 photo rules are the same for infants and toddlers, but the State Department is slightly more lenient about their poses. No other person can be in the photo, so it is often easiest to lay your baby on a plain white sheet in your Waukesha home to take the picture.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new photo that was taken within the last six months when renewing your passport. Even if your appearance hasn't changed much since your last application, using an older photo will cause your renewal to be rejected.

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. These timeframes do not include mailing times, so Waukesha residents should apply well in advance of any planned international travel.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 100 miles away in downtown Chicago. You cannot simply walk in; you must schedule an appointment by phone and prove you have urgent international travel within 14 days.
