When UPS makes sense
UPS can make sense if you are already visiting a location for shipping, notary, or other services. The downside is that you still need store availability and the photo is created on their schedule.
If your priority is getting a digital passport photo quickly, an online-first workflow is usually simpler.
How to combine online creation with local printing
Create the passport photo with FastPassPhoto, download the digital file and 4x6 print sheet, then print locally only if your application requires physical photos.
