What every order includes

Every PhotoForPass order includes the same core features at no extra cost. You will not find add-ons or upsells at checkout.

  • A free in-browser smart check before you pay, so you never buy a photo you cannot use.
  • Up to 5 photo checks per person to retake and recheck until the photo passes.
  • 3 free redos per person after payment, if you would like us to edit the photo again.
  • Files in about 30 to 60 seconds after payment, with no shipping wait.
  • Downloads from your order email, or from My photos if you create an optional account.
  • Full data safety: your photo stays on your device until you order, is encrypted in transit and at rest afterward, and is deleted automatically after 90 days.
  • A 14-day money-back guarantee on every product.

Checks and redos: how the limits work

Each order includes up to 5 photo checks and 3 free redos for every person in it. The limits keep prices low while giving you plenty of room to get a photo you like.

Photo checks

A check is the automated smart review that runs before you pay. It looks at lighting, focus, background, head position and open eyes. If a check flags a problem, retake the photo and check again. In practice, one or two checks are usually enough once the light is right.

Redos

A redo means we edit your photo again after you have paid, for example if you would prefer a different result. You get 3 free redos per person.

What the limits do not cover

Checks and redos belong to one order and one document. They cannot be moved to another person or a different document type, so a second document needs a new order. If a technical problem on our side uses up a check or redo, contact support and we will restore it.

14-day money-back guarantee

Every PhotoForPass order comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If a government agency rejects your photo, you also get a full refund.

To request a refund, email contact@photoforpass.com from the address you used for the order and include your order number from the receipt email. A short reason helps us improve, but it is not required. For a rejection, a photo of the notice helps too; cover any passport or application number first.

Refunds go back to your original payment method through Stripe: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Link. Your bank usually takes 5 to 10 business days to show the refund on your statement. The full terms are in our refund policy.

PhotoForPass vs CVS, Walgreens and USPS passport photos

Store passport photos cost roughly the same as ours, but you have to travel, may need to wait and often get no digital file. The table compares prices we checked on November 8, 2026. Store prices vary by location and exclude sales tax, so confirm with your local store.

The gap grows with families. Three people at Walgreens would cost about $50.97 before tax (3 x $16.99), compared with $39.95 for our 3-person family pack, which also includes digital files.

Stores do have an advantage: someone takes the photo for you. If you prefer that, our store price guide and passport photos near me page compare local options in more depth.

Payment methods and checkout

You can pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, major credit and debit cards, or Link. Checkout is handled by Stripe, a payment processor certified to PCI DSS Level 1, so PhotoForPass never sees or stores your full card number.

Every order is a single, one-time payment. Nothing renews and there is no subscription to cancel. Any sales tax that applies to your location is shown at checkout before you confirm. Your receipt, with the order number you need for support or refunds, arrives by email right after payment.

Your photo is protected the same way: it stays on your device until you order, then it is encrypted in transit and at rest, never sold or shared for advertising, and deleted automatically after 90 days.

Which package should you choose?

Choose by how you will submit the photo. If you are unsure, Photo + print covers every case for $2 more.

  • Renewing a US passport online: Digital photo, $16.95.
  • First passport, a child's passport or renewing by mail: Photo + print, $18.95, because Forms DS-11 and DS-82 need a printed photo.
  • US visa (DS-160): Digital photo. If your consulate also asks for a printed photo, choose Photo + print.
  • Green card or other USCIS forms: Photo + print. USCIS forms usually ask for two identical printed photos, and one 4x6 sheet gives you several.
  • Two or three people: a family pack, $29.95 or $39.95.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a passport photo online cost?

At PhotoForPass, a passport photo online costs $16.95 for the digital file or $18.95 for the digital file plus a print-ready 4x6 sheet. Family packs cost $29.95 for 2 people and $39.95 for 3 people. The same prices apply to visa, green card and other ID photos. Every order includes up to 5 photo checks, 3 free redos per person and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Is there a subscription or any hidden fee?

No. Every PhotoForPass order is a one-time payment. There is no subscription, no renewal and no shipping fee, because all files are digital downloads. The price you see before checkout is the price of the package. The only possible addition is sales tax where it applies, and it is shown at checkout before you confirm the payment.

Is the photo check really free?

Yes. The in-browser photo check is free and runs before you pay. It reviews lighting, focus, background, head position and open eyes, and tells you what to fix. Because it runs in your browser, your photo stays on your device during the check. You only pay when you are happy with the photo and ready for the finished, cropped file.

What is the difference between Digital and Photo + print?

The Digital photo package, $16.95, gives you one official-size JPG for online applications such as US passport renewal online or the DS-160. Photo + print, $18.95, adds a print-ready 4x6 sheet as JPG and PDF for paper applications. The sheet holds 6 US 2x2 photos when printed borderless, or 2 with cut guides. If you might need prints, Photo + print is the safer choice.

How much does it cost to print the 4x6 sheet?

Printing the PhotoForPass 4x6 sheet costs whatever your store charges for one standard 4x6 photo print, which is one of the cheapest items at any photo counter. Check the current price at CVS, Walgreens or Walmart in their photo app or website. You can also print at home on 4x6 glossy or matte photo paper. Print at actual size so each photo stays exactly 2 x 2 inches.

Is PhotoForPass cheaper than CVS or Walgreens?

It is in the same range for one person and cheaper for families. On November 8, 2026, Walgreens listed passport photos at $16.99 and CVS was reported at around $17.99, with digital copies extra at some CVS stores. PhotoForPass costs $16.95 digital or $18.95 with a print sheet, with no trip. For 3 people, our family pack is $39.95, compared with about $50.97 at Walgreens before tax.

How does the 14-day money-back guarantee work?

If you are not happy with your PhotoForPass order for any reason, email contact@photoforpass.com within 14 days of purchase with your order number, and you get a full refund. You do not need to explain why, although a short reason helps us improve. If a government agency rejects your photo, you also get a full refund. Refunds go back to your original payment method.

What happens if my passport photo is rejected?

If the U.S. Department of State or another agency rejects a PhotoForPass photo, email contact@photoforpass.com with your order number and you get a full refund. A copy of the rejection notice helps us improve, but it is not required; cover any passport or application number first. You can also retake the photo in better light and ask for a redo if you need a new photo quickly.

Can I use one order for two different documents?

No. Each PhotoForPass order is for one document type, such as a US passport or a US visa. Checks and redos belong to that order and cannot be moved to another document or person. Many US documents share the 2 x 2 inch size, but their digital file limits differ, so if you need both a passport photo and a DV lottery photo, place two orders.

Who can be included in a family pack?

A family pack is simply 2 or 3 people in one order, at $29.95 or $39.95. It works for partners, children, parents or roommates applying at the same time. Each person gets a digital photo and a print-ready 4x6 sheet, plus their own 5 photo checks and 3 free redos. You can only upload photos of yourself, your children or people who have given you permission.

Which payment methods does PhotoForPass accept?

PhotoForPass accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, major credit and debit cards, and Link. Payments are processed by Stripe, so we never see or store your full card number. Apple Pay and Google Pay appear on supported devices and browsers. Every order is a one-time payment with no subscription, and your receipt with the order number arrives by email.

Do you charge sales tax?

Sales tax depends on where you live. If tax applies to your order, Stripe checkout calculates it and shows it as a separate line before you confirm, so you always see the final total first. Store prices for passport photos, such as those at CVS, Walgreens or USPS, also usually have sales tax added at the register.

Do holiday products have the same guarantee?

Yes. Christmas portraits ($14.95), Photo with Santa ($12.95), Christmas photo cards ($9.95), family album portraits ($14.95) and the other photo studio products all come with the same 14-day money-back guarantee as passport photos. If the portraits do not look like your family or you are unhappy for any reason, email contact@photoforpass.com within 14 days with your order number for a full refund.

Do I get a receipt for my order?

Yes. Right after payment, PhotoForPass sends a receipt to the email address you entered at checkout. It shows the package, the price, any tax and your order number. Keep it, because the order number is the fastest way for support to find your order for downloads, redos or a refund. If you cannot find it, check your spam or promotions folder.

Is my photo safe when I order?

Yes. Before you order, your photo never leaves your device, because the PhotoForPass check and preview run in your browser. After you order, it is encrypted in transit and at rest, used only to make the photo you ordered, never sold or shared for advertising, and deleted automatically after 90 days. You can delete it sooner from My photos. Stripe handles your payment, so we never see your full card number.
