Price for Passport Photo ??

I have to re-new my passport and I was wondering if anybody knows the typical price for a passport photo.

Thanks

I had mine done at Blacks. It was a Black and White picture which apparently is the best way to go. It was around $20.

Prices vary a lot ... look around. I paid 15$ at Astral here in Montreal. But saw a few days later 8.99$ is some small mom & pop shop camera store.

Good luck.

Pacific Mall 4 photos for $10 CASH!!

8.99 at CAA for members. Add $2 for a non-member.

Walmart is $13.75.

Costco is very cheap. Like under $10?

It is $4.99 or $5.99 in Costco. Did that in Friday night.

EDIT: it is $5.57. I found the receipt.

US. US custom gave us problem to enter during Christmas. My kids had no photo id. Hence, I decided to get them passports.

Free---- (well cost of a tiny bit of paper and ink)

Do you have a digital camera?? Take it yourself and print it up. I called the passport office a while ago and it is a-ok, as long as you follow all the guidlines regarding size, smiling, etc..

When I was in their office today, the lady phoned an applicant that her photo had a problem. The lady said she told her husband about it might be problematic when he was here. It turned out it did have a problem although it was taken in a photo shop. And, the applicants needs to take yet another one and bring it in again.

Also, the photo of the gentleman in the next window also had problem because of brighest and background. And, the clerk was telling him what was wrong.

When I was in Costco, my daughters needed to take the photo 3 times because there was something not right and I had no freaking idea what went wrong because they all seems to be okay for me.

Exactly why taking it yourself may be a good alternative. Take 10 different ones, and bring them all in, if they dont like one say "well, how 'bout this one??" and just keep going til they find one they like. Still would cost you no more than maybe 1-2 sheets of full size photo paper.

I mean, I know that 10 bux is not that expensive, but the lengths I've seen people on this site go to save a loonie, well they would certainly do the pic themselves to save 10 loonies.

They seem to be much more picky on the photos. No smiles, no shadows, no glasses.

And you ask your doctor (lawyer, accountants) to sign every single one of them.
