AAA Passport Photo — Quick Facts

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.
