Printing Passport Photos with Costco

Although Costco no longer provides in-store passport photo printing, you can still print your passport photos using Shutterfly. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth process.

1. Prepare Your Photo

Create a compliant passport photo using Xpassportphoto and arrange it on a standard 4×6-inch photo layout. Save the file as a JPEG.

2. Upload to Shutterfly

3. Place Your Print Order

Order the image as a standard 4×6 photo. Only pay for printing, saving on additional photo fees. Choose “4×6 Standard Photo” and avoid selecting “Passport Photo.”

Additional Tip:

Shutterfly offers flexible delivery options. You can order prints online or through the app and select same-day pickup at partner stores like CVS or Walgreens. Many locations have 4×6 prints ready within an hour, making it a quick and convenient alternative.

Portrait Shooting Tips

This demo image highlights common portrait shooting issues, such as lighting, camera distance, and pose, helping you know what to watch for.

1. Lighting

Stand at a comfortable distance from a window so natural light evenly lights your face, minimizing shadows for a clear and balanced portrait.

2. Camera Distance

Stand 1–2 meters from the camera to ensure your upper body is fully in frame, providing enough facial and body information for ID or document photos.

3. Pose & Expression

Face the camera directly with a neutral expression, keeping your head straight and posture aligned to capture a clear and professional portrait.
