Where to get American passport photos

Finding a suitable location to have your American passport photo taken shouldn’t be a big issue unless you reside in an extremely remote area. Passport photos taken in photo booths or on your computer could be rejected, so should be avoided.

Here is a list of places in America where you can have quality passport photos taken.

Pharmacies

Pharmacies are popular places where people frequent to have their photos taken. For instance, three of the largest pharmacy chains, namely CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreen have a combined total of 15,000 locations, so you shouldn’t have any difficulty finding a store near you.

Retail stores

Examples of large retail stores that offer passport photo services include Costco and Walmart. There are plenty of other small retail stores offering these services as well, ask support and you’ll be surprised to find these handy services on offer.

Shipping centers

Lots of shipping centers run by FedEx and UPS do offer quality passport photo services. You can search for the nearest center run by either of the two firms if you want to have your passport photo taken as soon as possible.

America Passport offices

You can also have your photos taken at a US passport office. This location is very convenient because it not only allows you to have your photo taken but you also get to present your application documents for processing on the spot.

Online passport photo service

An online service like Paspic.com will help you take and edit a passport photo online so that it meets the requirements. You can use the picture for free digitally (for online passport applications), or have it printed and sent to you.

Professional photography studios

Not many people take passport photos at professional studios nowadays. But this is an option you should consider if you urgently need a passport photo and you can’t find an alternative quickly. Expect to pay a bit more for your passport photos if you elect to go with this choice.

The places above are guaranteed to provide you with quality passport photos that should be approved by the authorities.
