Walmart passport photos: $7.64 at the counter, 19 cents if you print it
Walmart has the cheapest staffed passport photo service of the big US chains at $7.64 for two photos. Printing our free 4x6 sheet at the same photo centre costs about 19 cents and gets you six photos — useful when one application needs two and you would rather not come back.

How to print your passport photo at Walmart
- Make your photo here and download the free 4x6 print sheet.
- Go to photos.walmart.com (or the Walmart app) and choose Prints.
- Upload the 4x6 sheet and select 4x6 size, quantity 1.
- Make sure the preview shows the whole sheet — decline any crop, zoom or fit-to-frame option, because cropping changes the 2x2 photo size.
- Choose same-day pickup at your store, pay about $0.19, then cut along the light grey lines.
What to watch out for at Walmart
- Walmart is already the cheapest staffed option at $7.64, so the saving here is smaller than at CVS or Walgreens — but you still get six photos instead of two.
- Not every Walmart has a staffed photo centre any more; same-day print availability varies by store. Check your store's page before driving over.
- Walmart's photo site does not always offer a digital copy of a counter-taken passport photo. If you are renewing online, make the digital file here instead.
Turnaround
Photo centre passport photos are typically ready in 5–10 minutes. Same-day 4x6 print pickup is available at most stores.
Common questions
How much is a passport photo at Walmart?
$7.64 for two printed 2x2 photos at the photo centre, usually ready in 5 to 10 minutes. That is roughly half what CVS and Walgreens charge.
Is it worth printing my own if Walmart is only $7.64?
It depends what you value. Self-printing costs about 19 cents and gives you six photos instead of two, and you control the crop. The counter is faster if you have not taken a photo yet and want someone else to do it.
Does Walmart print 4x6 photos the same day?
Most stores offer one-hour or same-day pickup on 4x6 prints, but availability varies by location and some stores have reduced their photo services. Check your store's page when you place the order.
Will Walmart give me a digital copy?
Not reliably — the counter service is aimed at printed photos. If you are renewing your passport online you need a digital file, so make one here for free rather than paying for it in store.
What paper does Walmart print on?
Standard photo paper, which satisfies the State Department's requirement for a colour print on matte or glossy photo-quality paper. Both finishes are acceptable.
