Get Your Idaho Passport Photo at Home

Skip the lines at the pharmacy or post office and take your passport photo online.

While you could drive to a local Walgreens or Walmart, Perfect Passport lets you snap a compliant 2x2 inch photo from your living room. For just $7.95, our software ensures your picture meets all State Department requirements before you print or submit it.

Over 110,000 Idahoans apply for a passport each year, according to recent State Department data. Whether you are planning a trip across the Canadian border or flying overseas, getting a compliant passport photo is the first step in the application process.

When it comes to getting a passport photo in the Gem State, many residents head to national retail chains. Walgreens operates nearly 40 locations across Idaho, and Walmart has over 25 stores that offer photo services. However, driving to a store, waiting in line, and paying retail prices can be a hassle.

If you need a passport at the last minute for a life-or-death emergency or urgent travel, you will need to look outside the state. Idaho does not have its own regional U.S. passport agency, so residents typically must travel to the Seattle Passport Agency in Washington for expedited, in-person appointments.

Instead of wasting time running errands, you can use Perfect Passport to take your photo at home. For just $7.95, you can use your smartphone to capture a State Department-compliant 2x2 inch photo, saving you time and money on your next application.
