Can I get a passport photo taken at The UPS Store in Cheney?
Can UPS do photos for other documents (visas, IDs)?
Yes. Many locations also produce international visa and ID photos, including non-U.S. sizes. Ask the store to shoot for your specific document’s specs; they cut to size and (where offered) can provide a digital file. Availability varies by store.

And they printed me a glossy sheet that has the picture on it several times, in various sizes. Do I just mail the whole sheet in as is or do I need to manually cut the pictures out first?
