Does Rite Aid Do Passport Photos?
Some Rite Aid locations still offer passport photos — but many have closed. Always call ahead. Here is what to expect and where to go if your Rite Aid can't help.
Call your Rite Aid before going.
Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy in 2023 and has closed hundreds of locations. Many remaining stores have discontinued photo center services. Unlike CVS or Walgreens (where passport photos are nearly always available), Rite Aid availability is unpredictable. A 30-second phone call prevents a wasted trip.

Rite Aid Passport Photo FAQ
Does Rite Aid offer passport photos?
Some Rite Aid locations offer passport photos, but availability has become unpredictable due to the chain's ongoing store closures and restructuring. Many Rite Aid photo centers have closed or been discontinued. Before making a trip, call your specific Rite Aid location and confirm they still offer passport photo services and that the equipment is working. Do not assume any Rite Aid offers this service without calling first.
How much does a passport photo cost at Rite Aid?
Rite Aid passport photo pricing, where available, typically ranges from $12.99 to $17.99 for a set of 2 printed 2×2 inch photos. Prices may vary by location. Some locations use Kodak or Fuji photo kiosks for printing, while others have dedicated photo technicians. Pricing may have changed due to store restructuring.
Why should I call Rite Aid before going?
Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy in 2023 and has been closing hundreds of stores across the US. Many photo centers within existing stores have also been shut down or have equipment that is out of service. Unlike CVS or Walgreens where passport photo service is nearly universal, Rite Aid's photo center availability is now location-specific and unreliable. A phone call before your visit prevents a wasted trip.
What are the alternatives if my Rite Aid doesn't offer passport photos?
If your local Rite Aid does not offer passport photos, nearby alternatives include: CVS (most locations), Walgreens (most locations), Walmart (portrait studios), AAA offices (members only, often fast), UPS Store, FedEx Office, and USPS (at passport acceptance facility locations). For the fastest option with no travel, you can also make a compliant photo at home using an online tool and print it at a local photo kiosk.
How long does it take to get a passport photo at Rite Aid?
Where Rite Aid still offers passport photos, the process typically takes 10–20 minutes. Some locations can print while you wait; others may have a longer wait if the photo center is busy or understaffed. Call ahead to confirm service availability and current wait times.
Can Rite Aid print passport photos from my phone?
Some Rite Aid photo kiosks allow you to print photos from a digital file. If you already have a compliant passport photo in JPEG format (correct 2×2 inch crop, white background), you may be able to print it at a Rite Aid Kodak kiosk using the photo transfer option. Ask the pharmacy staff if this service is available at your specific location.
Does Rite Aid accept my old passport photo if it is still valid?
Rite Aid does not verify passport photo compliance — they take and print photos. Whether your photo meets the State Department's requirements (taken within 6 months, white background, no glasses, etc.) is determined by the passport acceptance agent or the State Department review, not by Rite Aid. See our guide on passport photo requirements if you are unsure whether your existing photo is still valid.
