Passport Photos in Chicago — What to Know
As the headquarters city of Walgreens, Chicago has an exceptionally high density of pharmacy locations offering passport photos. With over 300 Walgreens in the greater Chicagoland area, most residents are within walking distance of a passport photo service.
The Chicago Passport Agency at 230 South Dearborn in the Loop is conveniently located near public transit, making it accessible for urgent passport needs. However, like all passport agencies, appointments are required and can be difficult to book during peak travel periods.
For the budget-conscious, taking a photo at home and printing it at one of Chicago's many Walgreens self-service kiosks costs just $0.35 compared to the $14.99 in-store service — a significant saving, especially for families needing multiple passport photos.
