Step-by-step: printing at CVS

You are ordering an ordinary 4×6 photo print — not CVS's passport photo service.

Create the passport photo. Make and download your 4×6 passport sheet from PassportSelf.
Open CVS photo printing. Use the CVS website, app, or an in-store kiosk.
Upload the 4×6 image. Select the sheet file you downloaded.
Choose a standard 4×6 print. Glossy or matte both work.
Do not crop or resize. Skip any editing, auto-fit, or enhancement prompts.
Print and cut. Pick up the print and cut along the provided guides — each photo should measure exactly 2 × 2 inches.

No appointment. No account. No subscription.

Why this is cheaper than the in-store passport service

A standard 4×6 print costs a fraction of a dedicated passport-photo service, and one sheet contains multiple photos.

The sizing work is already done in the file. The store just prints a normal photo. The only thing that can go wrong is a resize setting — see how to print passport photos for the checks.

How fast is pickup?

CVS photo printing commonly offers same-day pickup at many locations; confirm the time shown when you place your order.

Will CVS staff cut the photos for me?

The order is a standard photo print, so plan to cut the 2×2 photos out yourself along the printed guides.

Is PassportSelf affiliated with CVS?

No. PassportSelf is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by CVS. These instructions simply use CVS's standard 4×6 photo printing.
