- *8/1/22 Update: This passport must be cursed!! 🙀 USPS lost my corrected passport which was supposed to be delivered by 7/16/22 (it never made it out of AZ)! I exhausted all my options (missing mail search was initiated) with the post office in trying to track that damn thing! 😭 Now the US Dept of State needs me to fill out the DS-86 form for non-receipt of a US passport. Will the 3rd time be the charm?? To be continued...
*9/4/22 Update: Mailed out the DS-86 form on 8/1/22 and I have not yet received my passport (the one that would have replaced the 2nd one which was sent out to me to correct the 1st one that was misspelled but was then lost by USPS. Ya'll follow me??! In addition to this, I have not yet received my supporting documentation back which had to be sent again for the name correction back in June. Now do me a favor and go check out Google's reviews for the Charleston Passport Center (1.8 stars)...that's where my stuff is. From what I understand, calling my Congressman to shake things up is my last resort.
*9/16/22 Update: Talked to my Congressman's office representative in the morning who confirmed they will start the investigation and keep me up to date. Coincidentally, I finally received my supporting documentation back later that same day. It took 3 months to get it back and no passport in sight yet...(no updated status from the DOS website either).
*9/20/22 Update: I am in a state of shock! I received an email from USPS that there was a package out for delivery from the passport center. I was so ecstatic thinking the whole morning this was going to be a brand new passport replacing my lost corrected passport. Nooooo, it turned out to be my corrected passport that was supposed to be delivered by 7/16/22! It took 2 months for it to be located and delivered! Say whaaaat!?
❇️ Many of us are looking to fly far far away after being all cooped up at home these past 2 years. If you are looking to get yourself a passport for the very first time or renewing one, I have some money-saving tips for you! One of the most popular searches on Google is the CVS coupon for passport pictures, I kid you not. However, these are not offered year-round and to top it off, CVS has increased their passport picture fees by a whopping $2.
Here's the deal: If you not only want to save some money (what if you have to come up with passport pictures for your entire family crew??) but are also looking to have better looking passport pictures, I recommend you check out my tutorial. Take the photo yourself and get the picture you want rather than the one you always have to settle for at the drug store. As mentioned in my video, the US Post Office took my last passport picture and what a disappointment this was. Please keep in mind that there are some other softwares and tools out there you can use to save even more money but from my own experience, they either didn't work out too well or forced you to work a little harder.
In this video, I cover the "Photo Tool" software made available on the US Dept of State-Travel website, the Visafoto website to transform your picture into a passport photo that meets the requirements, and the Removebg website to help with any touch up your photo background may need.

If you've got a qualified 2x2 inch photo ready, softwares such as Microsoft PowerPoint can do the job of aligning the photos into 4x6 layout perfectly well with no further charge.
Thank you! I actually got my passport picture at wall greens but it was horrible they didn’t use flash and the lightning was very bad. I am happy to be taking my own!
You're welcome and yes, I can totally relate to that 😃!
Exactly what I need. Thank you!
You are very welcome Daisy! 🤗
Nice!! Thank you!!
😉 You're welcome 🤗!
Hello I followed this video to print out my passport photo from CVS using the 4x6 template generated by visafoto, however the final product is not good. The size is slightly bigger and the color is slightly distorted in some places. 😕
Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you Nabid! I wonder if that particular CVS store photo printer is at cause vs. visafoto or the other way around. 🤔😐
@@lcmojo I just noticed even yours 4x6 print in this video was not correctly printed. The padding(space) on top of you head in the top and bottom are not equal. I do not know how can you miss that. 😗
Once you factor in CVS printing cost and cost for website to get layout correct your paying just as much as it would cost you to go to Cosco. I would just use Photoshop to get layout correct, save file and upload to CVS.
Great tip but some of us (my case) don't have Photoshop. Not looking to spend money on purchasing the software as I won't have a use for it. 😊
Is this allowed in usa passport photo? I thought it isnt because they reject altered pictures?
Hi there! 🤗 Despite what you may hear or read, what a lot of people and online passport photo services have found is that what really matters to the US Dept. of State is that the photo fulfills all the basic requirements (eg: a clear and neutral subject face, a white/off-white background, no selfie angle, a decent resolution (no blurry/grainy background), and a correctly size photo). I can't tell you the number of stories I've encountered about supposedly professional CVS passport photos being rejected due to fluorescent lighting and other miscellaneous reasons. CVS photo technicians also use a software program to upload and ensure the picture conforms to the guidelines and at times, will make some edits as well if necessary. It is left at the discretion of a US Dept. State employee to decide if a photo is acceptable. 😉
Thank you very helpful . Just did it today and it worked.
Part that gave me the most trouble , realizing that Walgreens and CVS do not want you to print some 2x2. I managed to find a free site on google that allowed me to do it . "Print 2x2 using the 4x6 format"
Thanks Moussai for sharing your experience with this! I guess it's a hit & miss when it comes to printing those out at CVS/Walgreens. They're just wanting to make $ taking our passport pictures themselves. I'm just curious...did you print it there on site or did you send it to the store via an online order like I did? Glad you found a solution to make it work! 🤗🤓
@@lcmojo I did it as you instructed . I have sent them the pictures via their site , then picked up the order 2 hours later :)
Oo that's too bad! 🙄
thank you
You are welcome! ;)
For some reason, my 2x2 photo didn’t cover up the renewal application photo box. Did yours cover up the whole box?
Hi there, yes it did. Hmm...I would probably measure the borders with a ruler 📏 (your photo and box on paper) to see which one is off. Something tells me the box on paper is a little wider...
@@lcmojo yea I measured with a ruler, the border is slightly bigger. I used the same 4x6 method as you, that’s why I’m confused 🧐🧐
how did it work out, did they accept your picture?
😆 I keep checking everyday for my passport status. Still says in process...🙈suspense...!!👏🙏
@@lcmojo yeah I heard there is a backlogs hope you get it back soon..anyway ways thanks for the tutorial👍
So...😔 I've got a very very fun...update for you: My passport application status says approved and I received a USPS tracking # about 10 days ago. Guess what? It was supposed to be delivered via USPS Priority mail about 6 days ago and it's been saying "In transit, arriving late" since then. I am so afraid that USPS lost the package. I'm going to have to call them and see what this is all about. This passport project must be cursed!! 😣
@@lcmojo wow that sounds stressful especially with your certificate included,but I trust usps is good at their job and you should receive it safely.I opted for the same day service I went to the passport agency I got it the within 3 hours,I was too scared of sending out the naturalization certificate.But anyways thanks for the update
How do you cut it
Hi John, I just used a pair of ✂️ because I don't have a professional paper cutter/trimmer. If you want to be careful with getting a straight cut, I would recommend grabbing your 📏 and a ✏️ to make a straight line before the cut.
Does it work? (UPDATE??)
Hi there, it sure worked for me. Got the updates in the description box. 😉
US passports just got a whole lot sketchier. 😬
🤣 I don't know why I just laughed soo hard.😂 Seriously though. I'm not even trying to be sarcastic. You made my day.
Need to find where the actual video starts smh
2:20 my friend! 🤗😁 sma
Don’t want to hate on your content but just get to the point in the videos
@Pree Dem Point taken. Thanks 👍 for your feedback but you would be surprised to find out there are tons of people who ran into issues or want to be prepared for potential issues that may surface with passports and are looking to hear from others who have dealt with them so they know how to go about resolving them quickly or preventing them altogether. 😉
Your earrings are suppose to be studs. That's what I was told
Once they are healed you are able
To wear any style earrings
@SophiesVanity, what are you talking about?
Sounds like you would have avoided alot of this had you verified everything once you received it.
😁 Actually having to redo my pic was exciting because I had lost so much weight since I had the Post Office take my prior pic. Having to send them paperwork to fix my name was unavoidable since they screwed up my name. 🐶
