How much is a passport photo at Walgreens?

The standard Walgreens passport photo service costs $16.99 in 2026. That gets you two identical printed 2 × 2 inch photos, taken by a member of staff at the photo counter. Many stores also email you a digital copy. Prices can vary slightly by location, so check with your store.

How it works

  1. Walk in to a Walgreens with a photo department during its hours. No appointment is needed.
  2. A member of staff takes your photo against a white background.
  3. The photos are printed while you wait, usually in a few minutes.

The cheaper way: bring your own photo

Walgreens' passport service and its regular photo prints are priced very differently. A standard 4 × 6 inch print costs well under a dollar. If you have a correctly sized passport photo, you can put several copies on one 4 × 6 sheet and order it as a normal print.

  1. Take your photo at home with our passport photo maker, which guides you and checks every rule.
  2. Download the 4 × 6 print sheet, or make one free with the print sheet maker.
  3. Order it as a standard 4 × 6 print at Walgreens, CVS or Walmart.
  4. Cut along the guides.

When Walgreens is the better choice

  • You need the photo today and don't have anyone to take it for you.
  • You'd rather someone else handles lighting and background.
  • You are photographing a baby and want help.

Remember that the person taking the photo isn't checking it against every rule the way a full compliance check does, so look at the result before you leave.
