Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment for passport photos?+

No appointment needed. Walk in anytime during business hours. The whole process typically takes 10–15 minutes.

Can you take photos for other countries, not just the US?+

Yes. We can print photos to the specifications required by any country — India, UK, Canada, Schengen area, China, Philippines, Mexico, and more. Just let us know which country’s passport or visa you are applying for.

Can you take passport photos for babies and infants?+

Yes. Infant passport photos are challenging but we have experience with them. US rules require babies to have their eyes open, which can be tricky. We take multiple shots to get a compliant image. Bring a white blanket or sheet to lay your baby on — it helps create the white background required.

What should I wear for my passport photo?+

Wear everyday clothing — nothing that looks like a uniform or camouflage. Avoid wearing white as it blends into the white background. No glasses allowed since 2016. Head coverings are only permitted for documented religious or medical reasons.

How many copies do I get?+

Standard service includes 2 printed photos — which is what most US passport and visa applications require. Additional copies are available at a reduced per-photo price.

Can I use these photos for my online passport renewal?+

Online passport renewal (via MyTravelGov) requires a digital JPEG file, not a print. Ask us about digital passport photos — we can provide a digital copy alongside your printed photos.

Are photos cheaper than CVS or Walgreens?+

Our pricing is competitive — and unlike chain pharmacies, you get personal attention from our staff who verify compliance before printing. No hidden fees, no pressure upsells.
