Does UPS take passport photos?
Yes, many The UPS Store locations take and print passport photos in one visit. Not every store offers it, though; the service runs at participating locations, so check your local store's page or give them a quick call first.
How much is a passport photo at UPS?
There's no national price. Every The UPS Store is independently owned, and each franchise sets its own passport photo price and hours. The only way to know what yours charges is to call or check its store page before you go.
Do I need an appointment for a UPS passport photo?
No, you can walk in at participating stores. If you'd rather not wait, The UPS Store also lets you schedule an appointment online through your local store's page.
Does the UPS passport photo come with a digital copy?
Sort of; it depends on the store. Because each location is a franchise, some offer a digital file and some only hand you prints. If you plan to renew your passport online, you'll need a digital photo, so ask before they shoot.
What should I bring for a passport photo at UPS?
For the photo itself, just yourself in a solid-color top. For the passport application, The UPS Store recommends an up-to-date ID and your birth certificate. The photo also has to be recent; anything used for a new passport should be taken within the last six months.
What if my UPS passport photo gets rejected?
If the passport office rejects the photo, you're usually making a second trip to the store for a redo. From home, OnePassPhoto checks your passport picture against every official rule before you pay; we also refund you if it's ever rejected.
Does UPS take passport photos for babies and children?
Policies vary by store, like everything else at a franchise. Call your location before bundling up the baby. At home you can take as many tries as your little one needs, and OnePassPhoto checks the result against every rule before you pay.
Can I wear glasses in my UPS passport photo?
No, glasses and sunglasses aren't allowed in US passport photos, and The UPS Store's own guidance says to skip hats too, unless you wear one for religious reasons. If you can't remove your glasses for medical reasons, you'll need a signed doctor's statement with your application.
When should I renew my passport?
About nine months before it expires, according to The UPS Store's guidance. Most countries want your passport valid for at least six months past your travel dates, and many airlines won't board you if it isn't.
Can I get my passport photo without going to a store at all?
Yes, a photo taken at home is fine for a US passport as long as it meets the State Department's rules. Upload a selfie to OnePassPhoto and we set the size, fix the background if needed, and check every rule before you pay, with the digital file included.
