Disclaimer

Not a government service

This is an independent website. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the US Department of State, US Citizenship and Immigration Services, or any government or consular authority of any country. Official requirements come from those authorities, and we link to their pages as the source for every specification we publish.

Not affiliated with any retailer

We publish guides about passport photo services at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Costco, USPS, The UPS Store and FedEx Office. We have no relationship with any of them. Their names and trademarks belong to them and are used only to describe and compare their services. Prices are what we observed on the date shown and vary by location.

No guarantee of acceptance

Our compliance checks cover measurable requirements and are not a guarantee that any authority will accept your photo. See the terms of use for the full statement.

Photo rules change

Photo requirements are updated by the issuing authorities without notice, sometimes significantly — for example the US ban on digitally altered or AI-generated photos. Every page here shows when we last verified its contents. Check the official source for your document before you submit.
