Passport Photos By City

City-by-city guides to getting a passport photo — which drugstores, print shops, and passport offices are near you, what they charge, and how the at-home online option compares. Pick your city below.

What every city guide covers

Each guide lists the local places that take passport photos — pharmacies like Walgreens and CVS, Walmart and Costco photo centers, FedEx Office and UPS Store locations, AAA offices, and post office or county acceptance facilities — with typical prices and hours.

They also explain the local passport-agency situation for urgent travel, and how making a compliant 2x2 photo online compares when you would rather skip the trip. The online option works the same in every city: upload a photo, and you get a compliant digital file plus a 4x6 print sheet you can print at any local pharmacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my city is not listed?

The in-person options are similar in most US cities — Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, FedEx Office, UPS Stores, and AAA offices. The "passport photo near me" guide covers how to find them anywhere, and the online option works regardless of where you live.

Do passport photo requirements differ by city?

No. US passport photo requirements are federal: 2x2 inches, white background, neutral expression, taken within the last six months. Only the local places to get one differ.

Is it cheaper to get a passport photo in person or online?

Walmart is usually the cheapest in-person option at around $8 for two prints. Online services are competitive once you factor in the digital file for online renewals and the six-photo print sheet.
