Create Your Passport Photo From a Photo That You Like



Have you ever wanted to create a passport photo from a photo that you like?  Well, now you can, provided that you meet a few requirements, the main one usually being that the picture be taken against a white wall.

Online Passport Photo Services That We've Found:

1) Epassportphoto.com - you can upload your own photo, provided that it meets the requirements and either print it yourself or send it to a participating Walgreens or Walmart location to be picked up.  The prices vary, but they start at $.99 cents.  When we used this service we uploaded our picture, cropped it and requested that it be sent to a local Walgreens, when we went to pick it up at Walgreens, it had been sent to a local Walmart approximately 1/2 mile away or so away.  We paid approximately $7.99 when we processed our order online and then when we finally got to Walmart to pick up the picture, we were charged another $.60 cents.  When we looked at the picture it was a bit blurry.  Hopefully you'll have better luck.

Here is epassportphotos youtube video.

2) pic4pass.com - Although we've never used this service, this website claims to analyze, evaluate, check sharpness, check the lighting on your picture and more!  We like this!  This site claims to process your passport photo for $4 dollars.  For this price you get two pictures to download.
