Passport
 Photos
from
Chris' Camera Center South
We
guarantee acceptance
The US government requires two photos
with very precise specifications. Our ID photos are
guaranteed to pass US government standards.
We charge $12 for passport photos ($2
less than the post office)
No appointment is necessary for ID
photos. If you are at the store 30 minutes before closing
time, you can have your photos while you wait (about 10
minutes). If you live in Augusta, Georgia, you should know
that Aiken, South Carolina is only about 20 minutes away.
About babies:
We can only take passport pictures of children who can sit
up (with a little assistance) and hold up their own heads.
If your child meets those minimal requirements, we'll be
happy to try photographing him or her. Please make sure the
child is awake when you come in!
Photos for nurses' licenses, gun
permits and other ID whenever you want them - but please
bring the official specifications!
We also take photos for
Canadian Passports and just
about any other ID photo you might want.
