Where to get a passport photo near you

You can get a passport photo near you at most pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens), US post offices (USPS), Sam's Club, and some FedEx and Walmart locations, usually as a walk-in with no appointment for about $10-20. You can also take one at home against a plain white wall and check and crop it online, which avoids a trip and the cost of retakes.
