Costco Passport Photos — Permanently Discontinued
Costco closed its photo department at all US locations on February 14, 2021. Passport photos are no longer available at any Costco store. Here’s the best alternative that matches what Costco used to offer.
The Best Costco Alternative — Same Quality, Lower Price
We offer Costco-quality photos at Costco-like prices. 6 passport photos for $9.95 with same-day pickup at your nearest Walgreens, CVS, or Walmart. And unlike what Costco offered, we handle any country — not just US 2×2 inch.

Customer Review
When I asked about the PAN Card picture for India at Costco, I got stares back. I’m glad I found this service. I ordered late in the evening and picked up from Walmart the next morning. Service is great and I even got an honest suggestion to upload a better photo. The whole transaction was handled professionally with quick email updates.
