Innovative Images Photography
This professional studio, slightly outside the center, is one of the highest-rated ones on Google (4.9 stars based on 100+ reviews).
How much will you pay? It’s unclear. The website doesn’t list prices for the services, but the reviews suggest you’ll have to pay more than at a regular studio.
If you only need photo prints for your application, make sure you have around 45 minutes for the appointment (taking a photo plus at least 30 minutes for an employee to print it).
Digital images are available at an additional price—not specified on the website.
Location: 11211 Richmond Ave. B101, Houston, TX 77082
59 Minute Photo
Although this Houston photography studio has great reviews, we’re unable to provide specifics about their passport photo services, such as prices or the availability of digital photocopies. We’ve contacted the place for details but weren’t able to get a response (as of the day of publishing this article).
If you’re interested in their passport photo offer, you can find them at the address below or give them a ring!
Location: 6381 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77057
Walgreens
Walgreens pharmacies are often the go-to for Americans looking to get passport pictures compliant with the State Department’s requirements.
All pictures come with a compliance guarantee, and you’ll most likely walk out with your photo prints in hand in around 15 minutes (provided there are no lines).
Note that Walgreens now also provides digital passport photos in case you need one for an online renewal passport application.
Here’s where you can get printed photos for passport applications at Walgreens:
- 2612 Smith St, Houston, TX 77006
- 950 Studemont St, Houston, TX 77007
- 2221 Fulton St, Houston, TX 77009

Important: Before going to your local pharmacy, check the chain’s store locator. Their photo services may have different opening hours depending on the location.
CVS
To take a passport photo at CVS, you won’t need an appointment, and unless you have to wait in lines, you’ll get the job done in around 15 minutes.
The big advantage of this outlet is that some of their offices will take passport photos around the clock—it’s best to confirm which location is open 24/7 on their website.
Important: CVS pharmacies are closed for lunch between 1:30 pm and 2:00 pm.
Find the nearest CVS in Houston with their store locator, or visit one of the following pharmacies:
- 300 Milam Street, Houston, TX 77002
- 402 Gray St. Houston, TX, 77002
- 2580 Shearn St, Houston, TX, 77007
Unless you need a digital photo (which you won’t get at CVS), this big box retailer may be a safe option as they guarantee their photos meet the official US passport photo requirements.

UPS
Find the nearest UPS in Houston and book a required appointment. It’ll take around 10 minutes to walk out with two printed passport photos in your pocket, plus the time spent waiting in lines.
However, similarly to many other providers, UPS won’t provide you with a digital image.
So, if you need a passport photo for a passport renewal, read about a convenient alternative below.
And here are several popular UPS locations in Houston:
- 945 McKinney, Houston, TX 77002
- 2368A Rice Blvd, Houston, TX 77005
- 6711 Stella Link Rd, Houston, TX 77005
Important: Not all UPS offices take passport photos. Before making an appointment, confirm with a store if they have passport photo-taking services on offer.

The process was simple and straightforward with excellent results. I uploaded a photo to the Passport Photo Online site. The photo was initially reviewed by software then reviewed again and approved (by a human) within seconds. The hard copy photo arrived in the mail within 3 business days. I highly recommend the service - 5 stars!
