What to Expect at the UPS Store
No appointment needed. Tell the associate you need a passport photo. The service is handled at the main service counter — no separate department to find.
The associate uses a digital camera or a dedicated passport photo setup. You'll stand against a white backdrop. The photo is taken, reviewed on-screen, and reprinted if the first attempt isn't satisfactory.
Unlike pharmacy photo labs with batch printing queues, UPS Store prints are typically done on the spot. You receive two 2×2 inch printed passport photos.
Pay $11.99–$14.99 at the counter. The total visit including payment is usually under 10 minutes. The photos are ready to submit with your passport application immediately.

UPS Store Passport Photo FAQ
Does the UPS Store do passport photos?
Yes. The UPS Store offers passport photos at most of its 5,000+ US locations. The service is a walk-in, and photos are typically ready in just a few minutes — faster than pharmacy photo centers. Price ranges from $11.99 to $14.99 depending on location, as each UPS Store is independently owned and sets its own prices within a general range.
How much does a passport photo cost at the UPS Store?
UPS Store passport photo prices typically range from $11.99 to $14.99. Because UPS Store locations are independently owned franchises, the price is not fixed nationwide — it can vary by several dollars between locations in the same city. Call your nearest UPS Store or check their website to confirm the exact price before visiting.
How long does a UPS Store passport photo take?
UPS Store passport photos are usually ready in just a few minutes — often faster than CVS or Walgreens, which may have longer print queues. The photo is taken, printed, and handed to you during the same visit. Most UPS Store locations do not have dedicated photo departments; the passport photo service is handled at the main service counter.
Are UPS Store passport photos accepted by the US State Department?
Yes. UPS Store passport photos meet all US State Department requirements: 2×2 inches, white or off-white background, printed on photo paper, 300 DPI quality. They are accepted for passport applications, renewals, visas, green card applications, and other government documents.
What hours does the UPS Store do passport photos?
UPS Store locations are typically open Monday–Friday 8 AM–7 PM and Saturday 9 AM–5 PM, with some locations open on Sundays. Hours vary by franchise owner. Because passport photos are taken at the main counter (not a separate photo department), the service is available whenever the store is open — no special photo center hours to worry about.
Do I need an appointment for a passport photo at the UPS Store?
No appointment is needed. Walk in during store hours and ask for a passport photo at the front counter. Wait times are minimal at most UPS Store locations since there is no photo print queue — the photo is printed immediately on the spot.
Is the UPS Store cheaper than CVS or Walgreens for passport photos?
Yes, typically. The UPS Store charges $11.99–$14.99 compared to Walgreens at $15.99 and CVS at $16.99. Walmart is still cheaper at $7.44, but Walmart photo centers have longer wait times and more limited hours. The UPS Store offers a middle ground: lower price than pharmacies, faster service than Walmart.
Can I print a passport photo at the UPS Store without having it taken there?
Yes — most UPS Store locations can print a digital photo file as a passport photo. Bring your image on a USB drive or email it to the store. If you use our online tool to format your photo correctly (2×2 inches, 600×600px, white background), you can have any UPS Store print it for you. Ask for a 4×6 print and cut to size, or ask them to print it to the exact 2×2 inch format.
