Passport photos in Queens–the brick-and-mortars
For U.S. passport photos, residents can visit a passport acceptance facility that provides photo services. Simply visit the State Department’s search portal, input your zip code (be sure to check the “Photo On-site” box), and you’ll have numerous locations (sorted by distance) at your disposal. For example, residents of Queen’s Village (11428) can visit:
- Queen’s Village Post Office at 209-20 Jamaica Avenue
- St. Albans Station at 195-04 Linden Boulevard
- Floral Park Post Office at 35 Tulip Avenue.
Besides the three locations mentioned above, Queens Village residents have seven additional passport acceptance facilities, offering on-site photos, located within a 4-mile radius. However, all outlets do not provide foreign passport photo services and require appointments beforehand. Acceptance facilities charge $15 for 2 (two) U.S. passport photos.

Pharmacies (CVS & Walgreens)
Next, let’s have a look at national pharmacy chains that offer passport photos. While some locations of CVS and Walgreens claim to offer international passport photos, it is always best to call ahead and inquire beforehand. Both pharmacy chains are walk-in only, and pricing is set at $16.99 for 2 (two) U.S. passport photos. Walgreens passport photo services are available at three popular locations, along with CVS. See below for the list of stores.

National shipping providers (UPS & FedEx)
Both UPS and FedEx only offer U.S. passport photos. Thus, customers looking to renew their international passports will need to look elsewhere for biometric photos adhering to strict country-specific standards.
For U.S. passport holders wishing to get new photos, UPS requires an appointment (booked online) to get 2 (two) U.S. passport photos for $11.99. On the other hand, FedEx offers walk-in service and charges $15 for the set.
