Getting a passport photo at Staples
Print and marketing desks take passport photos and can also print a sheet you bring in. The typical price is $19.99, and while you wait at the print desk No membership needed.
Staples photo counters print the standard 2×2 inch (51×51 mm) format required for U.S. passport books, passport cards, and most visa applications. Before you go, confirm your nearest store's counter hours with the official Staples store locator — photo service hours are often shorter than store hours, and availability varies by location. If the photo is for a passport application the same day, remember the photo fee is paid to Staples while the government's application and execution fees are paid separately at the acceptance facility.
Compliant photos must be taken within the last six months, against a plain white or off-white background, with a neutral expression, no glasses, and no head covering unless worn daily for religious or medical reasons. If a Staples retake is not convenient, our free browser tool below can produce the same compliant image from a phone photo in about five minutes.
Staples — passport photo locations
- Ask at the Print & Marketing counter, not the register.
- Bring your file on a phone, email, or USB drive if you made it with our tool.
- Staples also copies supporting documents, which is handy before an acceptance appointment.
What to bring
- A photo ID if you are also applying the same day.
- Everyday clothing — no uniforms, and remove glasses before the photo.
- A form of payment; most counters cannot bill an application fee together with the photo.
