UPS custom printing services don’t include passport photos. If you need physical copies for your application, you should try other providers.

Can I ship my passport with UPS?
UPS employees don’t review passport applications, but they can mail them. Once you’ve collected all the necessary documents, a UPS employee will help you pack and send them to the correct address.
Note that you can only use UPS passport services for renewals. If you’re applying for your first passport, you must make an appointment at a passport acceptance facility.

How does our photo editor work?
It’s easier than you might think.
Step 1: Upload a photo
Choose a self-portrait from your phone or take a new one. Our on-screen instructions will guide you through the process.
Step 2: Let AI do its magic
Wait a few seconds for the AI to convert your picture into a biometric photo. Our software will erase the background, resize the image, and crop it to the required size.
Step 3: Accept the photo
Check the final result. If you're not satisfied, repeat the process for free. Once you end up with a photo you like, choose how you’d like to receive it:
- Via email (digital photo and a printable template): $16.95
- By mail (digital photo + printouts): $19.95
Pro tip: You can use our template and print your passport photos at Sam’s Club for $0.10! Read more about Sam’s Club passport photo services.
Step 4: Finalize the order
You can pay for your order with a credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Amex, or PayPal. After ordering, one of our photography experts (available 24/7) will check your image for compliance with official requirements.
If something is off, we’ll email you detailed instructions on how to retake your photo so it gets the green light from the US Department of State (for free). If your photo were deemed non-compliant, we’d refund double the purchase cost.
Does that sound too good to be true?
See what our customers say about PhotoAiD on Trustpilot:
Absolutely perfect. I'm an Irish citizen that has lived in the USA on and off for 40 yrs trying to renew my passport was a nightmare ie the photo, I used your app, and my photo was approved. I had sent numerous photos, and all were rejected, but using your app, I got approved 1st time. Now I can travel again, my passport is on the way. Your app rocks, keep up the good work. I'm so glad I found your app, and the fee was very reasonable.
Sean (US)
Easy to do. I could use a photo I had already taken, and they cleaned up the background. A pure white background was unavailable and so I used a white door which had some design lines. These were removed. My daughter was very unwilling to have her picture taken in a public place, like a post office. This was a solution for about the same price. If you have 3 or 4 days for the mailing, this is perfect.
RJ in Pittsburgh (US)
High-quality photos and customer service are very professional. Even if I ask questions on the weekend, I could get an immediate reply. I am very willing to recommend it to my friends and family. Really thanks for the great team :)
