As we know, the Costco
Passport photo service used to be the cheapest. If you need only 2 photos, you
could get them at any Costco store for around $5. As Costco is no longer our competitor, we can say that we are the cheapest passport photos provider now!. On the order, you can select to get photos on a 4x6 inch print which you can still get printed online at Costco.com to get Costco's tradionally the best photo printing among all local stores. We will give you
6 or 8 passport photos for most countries for a low price of $8.95.
Also, Costco didn't provide passport photos in
35 x 45mm size for UK, Germany, Canada, Mexico, EU -Schengen or Australia, nor
33x48 mm photos for China or
35 x 25mm photos for India Pan card at Costco stores. We can help you with passport or visa photos for any country - printed or
digital photo. Many countries, like USA non-immigrant visa DS 160, Lottery visa, Canada Visa or India OCI ask for digital images. Costco wasn't useful for that. We can do all that for you, and we can also mail photos to your home, so you don't even need to enter a crowded Costco store, or wait in lines!
Customer Review:
>When I asked about the PAN Card picture for India at Costco, I got stares
back from the associate. I am glad that I found this service by chance
while Googling the dimensions. I ordered the prints very late in the evening
~ 900pm and picked up from Walmart at 1100am next day. Service is great
and I even got an honest suggestion to load a new digital image as earlier
one wasn't going to be good. Whole transaction was handled professionally
and efficiently with quick email updates. Thanks a lot!

Costco Passport
Photos compared to OnlinePassportPhoto.com passport photo service:
Pros:
- Costco offered 2 photos for $5 which was lower than onlinepassportphoto.com
prices if you needed only two photos.
- The process was simple. Go to the store and get photos taken by a Costco
photo center employee.
- You could get photos for the US Passport while you were shopping inside the store..
Cons:
Biggest problem: They no longer offer Passport photos at stores or online at costco.com.
- Costco requires membership so only Costco members
can benefit from this. Costco membership is $60 for general membership
and $120 for Executive membership.Costcos are only in large cities.
- If you are driving
say 10 miles to go to Costco just to get your passport photos, you
will be spending around $10 as per GSA per mile cost of $.50 cents
by US Government.
- Besides your driving time, you will be expected to
wait around an hour since you entered the store and leaving the store
with finished photos.
- f you need more than 2 passport photos, onlinepassportphoto.com
offers better prices- $8.95 for 6 US Passport photos and $9.95 for
12 USA Passport photos.
- Costco offers only 2x2 inch US Passport photos. OnlinePassportPhoto.com
offers passport photos for almost any country (including the UK, Germany,
India, China, Korea, Australia, Canada, etc.) and in any size. You
can also order 35x45mm photos for UK, Australia, Europe, or 33x48mm
photos for China Passport, or 35x35mm photos for Indian Passport.

with the Passport Pictures service at Kinko's. If you have any experiences,
please let us know and we would like to share them for the benefit of
