What You Get With Every Service

Your passport photo service includes two government-compliant 2×2 inch photos printed on professional photo paper. We ensure proper lighting, correct head positioning, and neutral facial expression that meets current US Department of State requirements.

Yorkshire Acres residents often need passport photos for various reasons – family vacations, business travel, or visa applications for international work assignments. We handle all types of official photo needs, including challenging situations like infant passport photos where special care is required.

The photos we provide work for US passport books, passport cards, and most visa applications. Since regulations can change, we stay current with the latest requirements to ensure your photos meet today’s standards, not outdated guidelines that might cause rejections.

Do I need an appointment for passport photos in Yorkshire Acres?

No appointment is necessary for passport photo services. We operate on a walk-in basis during regular business hours, making it convenient for your schedule. Most passport photos can be completed in just a few minutes. However, if you’re coming during busy periods or need multiple family members photographed, there might be a brief wait. We recommend allowing about 15 minutes total for the entire process, including printing time.
Our passport photo pricing is competitive with local alternatives and often more affordable than chain stores. CVS charges $17.99 for two photos, while Walgreens charges $14.99 for their passport photo service. Beyond just pricing, you’re getting the benefit of local expertise and personalized service. We take the time to ensure your photos are positioned correctly and meet all requirements, rather than rushing through a standardized process. Plus, with our on-site Post Office, you can complete your entire passport application process in one location.
Yes, we have experience photographing infants and young children for passport photos. Children’s passport photos have specific requirements, but we understand how to work with little ones to get compliant photos. For infants, the eyes don’t need to be fully open, but older children must have their eyes open and look directly at the camera. We’re patient with the process and understand that children may need a few attempts to get a suitable photo. Parents can hold infants during positioning, but hands must not be visible in the final photo.
While photo rejections can happen, we take steps to minimize this risk by following current government requirements carefully. Our photos are designed to meet all US Department of State specifications for size, background, lighting, and positioning. If you do receive a rejection notice specifically citing photo issues, bring the rejection letter to us. We’ll review what went wrong and retake your photos to address the specific concerns mentioned. Most photo rejections are due to common mistakes like shadows, incorrect sizing, or expression issues – all things we monitor carefully during the photo session.
Your passport photos are printed immediately after being taken, usually ready within 5 minutes of completing the photo session. This immediate turnaround means you can get your photos and submit your passport application during the same visit. We use professional photo printing equipment that produces high-quality results quickly. The photos are printed on proper photo paper that meets government requirements for durability and appearance. There’s no waiting period or need to return later to pick up your photos.
Our standard US passport photos work for most visa applications, as many countries accept the US passport photo format. However, some countries have specific photo requirements that differ from US standards. If you’re applying for a visa to a specific country, let us know during your visit. We can advise whether our standard passport photos will work or if you need photos with different specifications. For most common destinations, the standard 2×2 inch US passport photo format is acceptable, but countries like India, China, or some European nations may have different size requirements.
