Get Your Rhode Island Passport Photo Online

Skip the pharmacy lines and take your State Department-compliant 2x2 passport photo right at home.

While Rhode Island has dozens of pharmacies and post offices that offer photo services, driving to a store isn't your only option. With Perfect Passport, you can take a compliant photo with your smartphone for just $7.95. We verify your image against federal guidelines so you can apply with confidence.

Every year, over 75,000 Rhode Islanders apply for a U.S. passport. Whether you are preparing for a vacation or an international business trip, securing a compliant 2x2 inch passport photo is one of the first steps in the application process.

If you prefer to get your photo taken in person, the state offers plenty of retail options. You can visit one of the roughly 60 CVS pharmacies, 40 Walgreens locations, or 80 U.S. Post Offices scattered across Rhode Island. Keep in mind that Rhode Island does not have its own regional U.S. Passport Agency; residents needing urgent, same-day travel services typically must travel to the Boston Passport Agency or the Connecticut Passport Agency.

For a more convenient alternative, Perfect Passport lets you skip the trip entirely. For just $7.95, you can snap your photo at home using your phone. Our service automatically checks your image against State Department requirements, ensuring your photo is properly sized and formatted before you submit your application.
