Every year, over 280,000 people apply for or renew their passports in Connecticut. Whether you are preparing for a family vacation or an upcoming business trip abroad, securing a compliant 2x2 inch photo is a required step in the application process.

Across the state, residents have traditionally relied on major retail chains to get their photos taken. Connecticut is home to over 150 CVS locations, more than 80 Walgreens pharmacies, and over 300 USPS post offices. While these locations offer walk-in photo services, they often charge between $15 and $18, and wait times can vary depending on store traffic.
