Where to get passport photos in Portland
Portland has passport-photo counters from downtown through the eastside neighborhoods and out to Beaverton and Gresham, with local grocery chains adding options beyond the national pharmacies.
Walgreens and CVS — same-day photos at most metro locations, about $15-$17
Some Fred Meyer stores offer photo services

The Portland reality: rain, bridges, and the drive to Seattle
Portland's bridges bottleneck at rush hour, and nine months of drizzle make any extra errand less appealing. The photo desk at a busy Walgreens is also not always staffed the moment you walk in.
Portland has no regional US Passport Agency — the nearest is in Seattle, about three hours up I-5. For standard applications, USPS facilities and county offices handle the paperwork locally; you bring the compliant photo.
The faster option: make your passport photo online
Stay dry and create a compliant Portland passport photo from your phone with FastPassPhoto. Upload any recent photo and the AI handles the white background, 2x2 crop, and head positioning to US spec in about five minutes.
You get an upload-ready digital file for online renewal plus a print-ready 4x6 sheet, backed by a money-back compliance guarantee.
Need a physical print? Use any Portland pharmacy
If you need a printed photo, download the included 4x6 sheet and send it to any Portland Walgreens, CVS, or Fred Meyer photo kiosk for quick pickup — usually under a dollar.
For online renewal through MyTravelGov, the digital file is all you need.
