Quick answer

Check the exact store before you go

Use the official CVS photo service or store locator, confirm opening hours and ask whether you receive prints, a digital file or both. Bring the destination document requirements with you.

Retail service versus document rule

A store can produce a standard US passport format while your application needs 35 × 45 mm, 50 × 70 mm or a digital-only contract. The issuing authority, not the retailer, decides what is acceptable.

Bring the right information

Have the country, document type, physical or digital route and any official size or background rule ready. Ask for a digital original when the application portal needs one, not only a scan of the print.

When online preparation is faster

An online tool can be useful when you already have a good original, need a non-standard country size or want to check the final file before paying for prints.

Frequently asked questions

How much are CVS passport photos?

Prices vary by location and can change. Check the official CVS photo page or selected store before travelling.

Does CVS give a digital passport photo?

Ask the store what the current service includes. A printed copy and a digital original are not always the same product.

Can CVS make a 35x45 photo?

Do not assume the default US format covers another country. Confirm the store’s available sizes before ordering.

Do I need an appointment at CVS?

Availability differs by store. Check the current store information and call ahead when timing matters.
