Where can I print 5x5 cm photos?

You can print the images yourself at home (with the right passport photo printer), get them at a local store, or order compliant 5x5 cm photo prints delivered to your mailbox.

Local stores

Additionally, it’s a relatively safe bet to look around for big box retailers in your vicinity, such as Walmart or CVS, as chances are you’ll find a photo shop there.
