Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I get a passport photo near me?▼

Walk-in options and 2026 prices: Walmart $7.64, UPS Store around $12.99, Rite Aid $14.99, USPS $15, FedEx Office $15.95, Walgreens $16.99, CVS $17.99. Costco no longer does them at all — it closed every photo centre in February 2021. Or skip the trip: take the photo at home, have it checked against the official rules for $3.99, and print a sheet of six at Walmart for about $0.16.

What is the cheapest place to get a passport photo?▼

Walmart at $7.64 is the cheapest walk-in. Cheaper still is to skip the photo counter entirely: a 4x6 print sheet holds six 2x2 photos and costs about $0.16 as an ordinary print, so $3.99 to get the file right plus the print is roughly $4.15 for six photos rather than two. Costco used to be the cheap option at $5.99 but stopped in 2021.

Where can I get a passport photo in one hour, or right now?▼

Every walk-in counter listed here is same-day, and most are done in 15-25 minutes once you are at the counter — the hour usually goes on the drive and the queue, not the photo. FedEx Office and the UPS Store tend to be quickest because nobody is queueing for photos. If it is late or nothing nearby is open, doing it at home is the fastest route: take the photo, get it checked, and either print at home or collect a sheet at Walmart in the morning.

Does Costco still do passport photos?▼

No. Costco closed the photo centre in every warehouse on 14 February 2021 and passport photos went with it. Its old $5.99 price still turns up in a lot of guides, but you cannot get one there any more — the Costco Photo Center website runs through Shutterfly and does not offer them either. Walmart at $7.64 is now the cheapest walk-in.

Where can I get a digital passport photo near me?▼

This is where the walk-in counters fall down. CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid and USPS hand you prints; most will not give you the digital file that online renewal and visa portals require, so people end up paying twice. If you need a digital file — for the State Department's online renewal, a DS-160, Passport Seva or an OCI application — you are better off starting from a photo on your phone.

Can I take my own passport photo at home?▼

Yes! The State Department and most countries accept home-taken photos if they meet requirements. Use IDPicly to ensure proper sizing, background removal, and compliance. Then print at any photo store.

How long does it take to get a passport photo?▼

At stores: 15-45 minutes including drive time and waiting. Online with IDPicly: under 2 minutes. Upload, process, download. Print takes 5 minutes if you go to a nearby store, or instant if printing at home.

Do I need an appointment for passport photos?▼

Most stores don't require appointments but you may wait for staff availability. Online services require no appointment - available 24/7 from anywhere with internet access.

What if my passport photo gets rejected?▼

IDPicly offers a 100% acceptance guarantee - full refund if rejected for technical reasons. Store photos typically offer no refund and you'd need to pay again for new photos.
