Why choose Staples?

• Digital flexibility: Unlike many drugstores, Staples can provide digital copies on a USB drive or, at some locations, a code for cloud download.
• International & visa photos: Staples software can handle various international dimensions, not just the U.S. 2×2 standard.
• Guaranteed acceptance: They offer a “Passport Photo Acceptance Guarantee” — if your photo is rejected by the government, they will retake it for free.

The “Travel Hub” advantage

Staples is unique because you can handle multiple travel tasks at once:

• TSA PreCheck®: Many locations serve as official enrollment centers.
• Document printing: Print copies of travel insurance, itineraries, and IDs.
• Travel gear: Purchase luggage, travel adapters, and neck pillows while you wait for your prints.
