Every year, over 110,000 people apply for passports in Arkansas, preparing for international travel and border crossings. Whether you are renewing an old book or applying for the first time, securing a compliant 2x2 inch photo is a mandatory step in the process.
For those who prefer an in-person errand, the Natural State offers several retail options. You can find passport photo services at more than 120 Walmart locations, around 75 Walgreens pharmacies, and over 20 CVS stores statewide. Additionally, many of the 600-plus USPS post offices in Arkansas can take your photo when you submit your application, though appointments are often required.
If you need an expedited passport for urgent travel, the regional U.S. Department of State facility is the Arkansas Passport Center, located in Hot Springs. This agency handles life-or-death emergencies and urgent travel processing, but you will still need to arrive with a valid photo in hand.
Instead of driving to a pharmacy or waiting in line at the post office, you can use Perfect Passport to handle your photo needs. For just $7.95, our service allows you to take a compliant passport photo at home using your smartphone. We automatically verify the dimensions, background, and lighting to ensure your picture meets all federal guidelines.
