CVS offers government-compliant passport and ID photos at most locations during store hours. No appointment is needed, and the process takes 10–15 minutes using the Kodak Moments Passport & ID Photo System. While many stores are open 24/7, it is recommended to call ahead to ensure a trained passport photo associate is on-site to assist you.
CVS charges $17.99 for a set of two government-compliant 2×2 inch prints. You can add a digital copy via email or two additional prints for $3.99 each, or save the digital file to a USB drive for $10.99. Note that digital options are add-ons to the printed package.
You can obtain your passport photos by finding a participating location through the CVS store locator, where an associate will take your picture following official guidelines (neutral expression, no glasses/hats, etc.). The compliance-certified system automatically verifies compliance before printing your passport photos.
Alternatively, you can upload your own pre-made 4×6 template to the CVS Photo for local pickup at the standard print rate $0.42.

If your photo is rejected, CVS provides a money-back guarantee upon presentation of your receipt.
For international passport sizes, we recommend to call ahead and bring the specific country’s official requirements, as equipment settings may vary by location.
