We do compliant photos for most countries.
Photo requirements vary by country — we adjust sizing, background, and framing to match your consulate's spec sheet.
Country not listed? If the requirement is a plain white background with compliant sizing, we can almost always match it — bring the consulate's spec sheet.

Frequently asked
How much do passport photos cost?
$15 plus tax for a standard set of two US passport photos. International visa photos are the same price — we adjust the sizing and background to match the specific country's requirements.
How long does it take?
Most customers are in and out in 5–10 minutes. The photo itself takes under a minute; printing takes a few minutes. No appointment required.
Can you do visa photos for other countries?
Yes, as long as the country accepts a white background — this covers most major passport and visa applications: US, Canada, India (including OCI), Mexico, Philippines, Schengen / EU, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and most others. Some countries require specialized non-white backgrounds, which we don't currently produce. Bring your consulate's spec sheet and we'll confirm before shooting.
What should I wear?
Plain, solid-colored clothing (avoid white if the background will be white). No uniforms. No hats, except religious head coverings worn daily. Glasses must be removed for US passport photos. Natural expression, mouth closed or slight natural smile.
Do you do baby or infant passport photos?
Yes — infant and child passport photos are one of our regular services. The US State Department requires baby passport photos to meet the same 2x2 inch specs as adult photos: white background, eyes open, face clearly visible, no shadows. For infants who can't sit up, we lay them on a white sheet or blanket and photograph from directly above. Dress them in solid-colored clothing (avoid white). Most baby photo sessions take 5–10 minutes.
Do you provide digital copies?
Yes. Add a digital file to a physical print order for $7, or get digital-only (no prints) for $12. Digital files are emailed to you as a compliant JPG sized to spec — perfect for online passport renewal, Indian OCI uploads, Chinese online visa portals, and any other application that asks for an electronic photo. Let us know before we shoot which format you want.
What if my photo gets rejected?
We'll redo it for free. We shoot to official specifications, but consular requirements occasionally change or inspectors apply judgment — if your photo is rejected for a reason within our control, bring the rejection notice back and we'll reshoot.
Can I also apply for my passport here?
No — passport applications must be submitted at a USPS post office, passport acceptance facility, or regional passport agency. We take the photos and can ship your completed application via FedEx or USPS overnight if you need to get it out fast.
Do you take OCI photos for India?
Yes. OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card applications require photos that meet specific Indian consulate specifications — typically 2x2 inches or 51x51mm, white background, face centered. We shoot these regularly and know the exact specs. Bring a copy of the OCI application if possible so we can double-check.
Do you take photos for green card renewal or DACA?
Yes. USCIS photo requirements match US passport photo specs (2x2 inches, white background, recent within 6 months). We can take compliant photos for I-90 green card renewal, DACA applications, work permits, and naturalization — all at the same $15 + tax price.
Real customers, real reviews
Verified customer reviews from Google and Yelp.
“I've been a customer at Mailbox Plus since I opened my business in August 2024, and the experience has been outstanding from day one. Reuben, the owner, works incredibly hard and provides consistently excellent customer service. What really sets Mailbox Plus apart is the atmosphere — professional, reliable, and efficient, but also warm and close-knit in a way that's rare. As a business owner, it's reassuring to know my mail is handled by people who actually care.”
“Lots of services at great prices. I have a business mailbox and I love that it's a one-stop shop where I can also get notaries done and documents shipped for my business. The people who work here are also very friendly and genuinely helpful!”
