¹Unfortunately, the size of common photo paper is not exactly 4x6" or 10x15cm. The size and the method of cropping vary between printing services (we measured a 3 mm difference between Snapfish and Walgreens). Therefore, 100% accuracy can only be provided if you choose the Premium option, because we automatically accomodate our printer's nuances.

²For customers in the US, if you select the Walgreens pickup option, your passport photos will be ready at your nearest Walgreens store either the same day or the following day (you will receive an email notification). Please note that you will be required to pay $0.19 in the store.
