What do I need to bring to get my passport photo taken at Walgreens?
You don’t need to bring any specific documents or paperwork to get your passport photo taken. Walgreens only provides the photos; they do not process passport applications.
Does Walgreens have passport application forms available?
Some Walgreens stores may have passport application forms available, but it’s best to download them directly from the official U.S. Department of State website to ensure you have the most current version.
Can Walgreens take passport photos for children and babies?
Yes, Walgreens employees are trained to take passport photos for all ages, including children and babies. They are equipped to handle the specific requirements for infants (e.g., ensuring eyes are open, appropriate background, etc.), though it can sometimes take a bit longer to get a compliant photo for very young children.
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.
I have a customer who has done their passport photo three times but has yet to receive the digital copy in their email. I even checked their email address in their actual email app. But they still have not received it. Is this a known issue or is this a my store issue?
