I’m applying for my first US passport.
I used a local Walgreens for my photo and it was not accepted by the postal office I went to for my application.

They said the distance was not acceptable.

I took my own photo with all required parameters and it passed the State Dept’s passport photo tool.

Now that I have the 2x2 photo in my phone, where can I print copies of it?

The Walgreens and the CVS app continue to take my 2x2 photo and fit-to-size on a 4x6.

I just want to print the 2x2 and it’s incredibly difficult to do.

We want to renew our passports online, so we went to Walgreens to get the pictures taken and get a digital copy.

The process was great, we took the photos, received the two printed pictures (although we didn't need these).

But then when we downloaded the digital photos we were surprised, the digital photos were nowhere near the quality of the "cleaned up" printed photos. Asked the store people, and they explained that's how the system works and they can't manually pick the "cleaned up" photos to email.

I'm really surprised this is how it works, why doesn't Walgreens just send the "cleaned up" versions of the photos in email? Seems like it'll remove a lot of misunderstanding and confusion.
