FAQ

Passport photo questions, Wauwatosa edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Wauwatosa?

Yes, you can take your own passport photo in Wauwatosa using a smartphone or digital camera. Services like Perfect Passport help ensure your photo meets all federal requirements before you submit it. Just make sure you have even lighting and a plain white background.

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

A U.S. passport photo must be exactly 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. It must be printed in color on matte or glossy photo quality paper. Additionally, 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 for daily activities. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you provide 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 and closed eyes. For babies in Wauwatosa, it is often easiest to lay them on a plain white sheet at home rather than trying to hold them up at a local pharmacy.

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 your passport photo to 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 process, so Wauwatosa travelers should apply well in advance of their departure date.

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

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 90 miles south of Wauwatosa. This agency is exclusively for travelers who need a passport for urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency.
