The UPS Store passport photos: cost and the cheaper alternative
The UPS Store charges roughly $11.99 to $13.99 for passport photos, though the exact price and even whether the service exists depends on the individual franchise. Because they are print shops rather than photo labs, they are also the wrong place to print your own sheet — use a drugstore for that.

How to print your passport photo at The UPS Store
- Make your photo here and download the free 4x6 print sheet.
- Print it as a standard 4x6 photo at a drugstore or Walmart — UPS Store locations are print shops rather than photo labs, and document printing is not photo paper.
- Choose 4x6, quantity 1, and decline any crop, zoom or fill option so the sheet prints at actual size.
- Cut along the light grey lines with scissors or a paper trimmer.
- If you want the photo taken for you instead, call your local UPS Store first to confirm they offer the service and what they charge.
What to watch out for at The UPS Store
- Prices vary between franchises — commonly $11.99 to $13.99. Each store sets its own.
- Not all of the roughly 4,500 UPS Store locations offer passport photos. Call ahead rather than turning up.
- Many locations provide prints only, with no digital copy, so this route does not help if you are renewing online.
- Do not print your 4x6 sheet on a UPS Store document printer. Passport photos must be on photo-quality paper, and standard document stock will be rejected.

Common questions
How much does The UPS Store charge for passport photos?
Typically $11.99 to $13.99 for two printed photos. The UPS Store is a franchise, so each location sets its own price and not all of them offer the service — call before you go.
Can I print my passport photo sheet at The UPS Store?
It is not the best choice. UPS Store locations print documents rather than photos, and passport photos must be on photo-quality paper. Print the 4x6 sheet at a drugstore or Walmart photo counter instead, for about 19 to 42 cents.
Does The UPS Store give a digital copy?
Many locations provide printed photos only. If you need a digital file for online passport renewal, make one here free rather than relying on the store.
Is The UPS Store a passport acceptance facility?
Some locations are, and some only take photos. Passport acceptance is a separate service from photography, so confirm with your specific store which of the two it offers.
