Passport Photo at Walgreens

Looking for a passport photo at Walgreens? Here is what the store does, which sizes it prints and what to bring — plus how to arrive with a file that will not be turned down.

At Walgreens Photo (the US) you can either be photographed on site or print your own ready file. If you print your own, it has to meet the standard in advance — and that's what we do: upload a selfie, we fit the size, background and head proportions to the requirements, and Walgreens Photo prints it at a self-service kiosk in store, by ordering online and uploading your file, with in-store pickup or with mail delivery.

Good to know: the in-store passport service includes a free digital copy; prints can be picked up same-day or shipped home.

That way you get both compliance (our part) and a familiar local service close to home (Walgreens Photo). The file is universal — good for online submission and for self-printing.

A few practical notes. A document photo is small (usually 35 × 45 mm, or 2 × 2 inches in the US), so several copies fit on a single 4×6 / 10×15 cm print — handy and economical. Bring the ready file whichever way suits you: via the link in our email, straight from your phone, or on a USB stick. When ordering, confirm the print size so the photos aren't cropped.

What Walgreens charges and what you get

• Price: $16.99 for two printed 2×2 inch photos, with a digital copy emailed to you at no extra cost. A USB version costs extra.
• Who takes the photo: a trained associate at the photo counter. No appointment needed.
• How long it takes: usually a few minutes after the photo is taken.
• Beyond the US: Walgreens states it handles passport photo requirements for more than 30 countries, and photographs children and babies too.
