Passport photo-taking tips

Follow these guidelines to create the perfect passport picture.

Distance from the camera while taking a passport photo

Consider the distance

Keep your front-facing camera 16–20 inch (40–50 cm) away from the face. For rear cameras, keep a 4–6 foot (1–2 meter) distance.

Prepare good lighting

Take your passport photos in a daylight setting, like near a window on a sunny day. Shadows on your face or in the background are not permitted.

Passport photos at CVS—service details

CVS is your one-stop shop for passport photos, offering a snap, process and print service that typically takes less than an hour—provided there aren't any lines. 

The store assures that all passport photos comply with the official rules set by the US State Department. If your photos are rejected by US passport officers, CVS promises a full refund with proof of purchase.

Convenient business hours with walk-in service

Many CVS branches operate extended hours, some even 24/7. 

Generally, you can access photo and pharmacy services from 9:00 am–9:00 pm. This wide time frame allows customers the flexibility to drop by for a passport photo at their convenience.

No appointment is required.

CVS and digital passport photos

CVS only provides physical prints. If you're looking for digital passport photos, you might need to explore other options. 

PhotoAiD®, for example, offers digital passport photos. 

What's more, you can print these digital photos at CVS using a 4x6” passport photo template—offering both digital and hard copies at a discount of up to 15% off CVS' regular passport photo price.

Online service and delivery

CVS' passport photo service is only available in-store. This means you can't order passport photos through their mobile app or website. 

Consequently, home delivery of passport photos is not available. However, the in-store process is very quick, provided there isn't a line out the door. 

If you'd prefer online ordering and home delivery for your passport photos, you can use our Passport Photo Booth App for iOS or Passport Photo Maker App for Android. We assure compliance with a double-your-money-back guarantee.

How much does it cost to get passport photos at CVS?

You can get two US passport-sized photos at CVS for $16.99, which is similar to other providers like Walgreens.

Where can you get passport photos at CVS?

To find a nearby CVS, simply search “CVS passport photo near me” on your preferred search engine or use the CVS store locator on their official website. Make sure to apply the “Photo & Passport Photo” filter under the “Convenience” tab.
