Every year, over 580,000 Massachusetts residents apply for or renew their U.S. passports. Whether you are preparing for a family vacation or a business trip abroad, securing a compliant 2x2 inch passport photo is one of the first steps in the application process.
Across the state, you can find passport photo services at major retail chains. CVS operates approximately 400 locations in Massachusetts, while Walgreens has over 220 stores. Additionally, there are nearly 600 U.S. Postal Service locations and over 30 AAA branches statewide that offer photo services, though appointments are often required.
If you need an expedited passport for urgent international travel within 14 days, you may need to visit the regional U.S. Department of State facility, the Boston Passport Agency, located in downtown Boston. For routine applications, you can submit your documents at local acceptance facilities or renew by mail.
Instead of driving to a store and waiting in line, you can use Perfect Passport to take your photo at home. For just $7.95, our service ensures your photo meets all State Department requirements, saving you time and hassle before your next trip.
