How much are passport photos at Walmart?
Walmart charges about $7.64 for a set of two 2 x 2 inch passport photos as of 2026, making it one of the cheapest national chains for in-store passport photos, well below CVS and Walgreens. Photos are usually printed within 5 to 10 minutes at stores with an active Photo Center, though Walmart does not include a digital copy with the in-store service. Prices vary a little by location, so confirm at your store.
What Walmart charges versus other chains
At roughly $7.64, Walmart undercuts pharmacy chains like CVS (about $17.99) and Walgreens (about $16.99) by a wide margin, while offering the same walk-in, printed-in-minutes service. Costco no longer offers in-store photo services, and Rite Aid closed all its stores in 2025.
The DIY alternative
Since a passport photo is just a compliant 2 x 2 inch crop, you can take your own photo at home against a plain white wall, check it against the official spec, and print it on a standard photo sheet for a few dollars or less, avoiding the in-store fee entirely and avoiding a second trip if the store's photo gets rejected by the government later. Upload your photo here first; the check is free, and you pay $9 only if it passes, with a money-back guarantee if it's rejected.
