If you’re searching for a Walmart passport photo, this guide covers all the ways to get a US passport-compliant photo—whether by visiting a Walmart store, uploading your own photo online, or using a passport photo tool to print a cost-saving 4×6 layout.
A Walmart passport photo generally refers to the in-store service where staff take your photo and print it. Walmart also offers online printing options using uploaded digital images.
Walmart photos are intended to meet U.S. passport requirements, including:
Most Walmart stores with photo centers accept walk-in customers; no appointment is required for in-store shooting.
How the In-Store Service Works:
Typical Price:
Comparable to other big-box retailers like CVS and Walgreens for in-store services.
You can upload an existing passport photo to Walmart’s website and order prints (store pickup or home delivery). However:
Best for: Users who already have a compliant photo and only need prints.
💡 Tip:
- Use a passport photo tool to create a compliant 2×2 photo and automatically generate a 4×6 layout
- Upload the 4×6 layout to Walmart for printing
- This reduces the cost: one 4×6 print can contain multiple passport photos, typically costing under $1
- Walmart will print it like any standard photo; you then cut the individual 2×2 photos
With passport photo tools, the process is simple: take or upload your photo, auto-adjust for compliance, and download a ready-to-print 4×6 layout for Walmart printing.
To ensure your US passport photo meets official standards, please refer to the official requirements illustrated in the image module below.
