Every year, more than 450,000 Maryland residents apply for a U.S. passport. Whether you are preparing for a business trip out of Baltimore/Washington International or planning a family vacation abroad, securing a compliant 2x2 inch passport photo is a required step in the application process.
Maryland offers numerous in-person options for passport photos, including roughly 175 CVS pharmacies, over 115 Walgreens locations, and nearly 50 Walmart stores statewide. You can also find photo services at various local post offices and shipping centers. However, driving to a retail store, waiting for assistance, and paying standard retail prices can add unnecessary time to your preparations.
If you need your passport processed urgently, it is important to note that there is no regional U.S. passport agency located directly in Maryland. Residents requiring same-day or highly expedited service typically need to make an appointment at the Washington Passport Agency in Washington, D.C., or the Philadelphia Passport Agency. For standard processing, you can submit your application at a local acceptance facility.
Instead of dealing with traffic and store queues, you can use Perfect Passport to take your photo at home. For $7.95, our service allows you to snap a picture with your smartphone and ensures it meets all federal requirements. It is a straightforward option for getting your passport photo ready without leaving the house.
