  • Plus members1 set FREE per member, per year (additional sets $10)
  • Premier members4 sets FREE per household, per year

Do you need an appointment?

Generally, no. Most full-service AAA branch offices allow walk-ins for passport photos.

  • Processing time: Usually 5–10 minutes.
  • Tip: If you're also getting travel planning or an international driving permit (IDP), calling ahead is wise. IDPs require two passport-sized photos — international driving permit photos and the permit can be done in one stop.

Why choose AAA?

  • International Driving Permits (IDP): AAA is the official issuer. If you need a passport for an international road trip, you likely need an IDP; get the photos and the permit in one stop.
  • Expedited services: Through RushMyPassport, AAA members get exclusive rates on expedited passport processing.
  • Quality assurance: Staff ensure your photo meets 2×2 inch, white-background standards.

After you have your photos, see USPS passport photo and acceptance for where to file your passport application.
