Every year, roughly 50,000 West Virginia residents apply for a U.S. passport to prepare for international travel. Whether you are applying for the first time at a local post office or renewing an old passport by mail, securing a compliant 2x2 inch photo is a mandatory step in the process.
Across the Mountain State, you can find passport photo services at several major retail chains. Walmart operates 38 Supercenters statewide, while CVS and Walgreens have dozens of pharmacy locations that offer photo printing. However, these in-store services often require you to wait in line, and the costs can add up for families.
It is also important to note that West Virginia does not have its own regional U.S. passport agency for emergency, same-day processing. Residents who need a passport at the last minute typically have to travel out of state to the Washington Passport Agency in Washington, D.C., or the Philadelphia Passport Agency. Because urgent travel is already stressful, getting your application materials ready ahead of time is highly recommended.
For a straightforward experience, Perfect Passport allows you to take your official passport photo at home using just your smartphone. For only $7.95, our software ensures your picture meets all State Department requirements, saving you a trip to the pharmacy and keeping more money in your pocket.
