Recommended Posts

I got my passport type photo taken at Walgreen's and when I got it I noticed it was a little blurry, you can see its me but not just very detailed, think of how pics look when you use a disposable camera, I was wondering if it would be a problem or it it's fine? Should I go back to Walgreen and get it retaken or go somewhere else or just keep it. I photo copied my passport photo so that will be in the packet as well but its black and white, help clarify please , thanks!

If you aren't satisfied with them and it's noticeable, I would get them redone, but that's just be.

Best of luck! :)

Do they know these are passport style photos? I went to a place that specifically takes photo's for passports and they came out great.

Hmm, I would tell them you aren't happy and want a discount!!! Maybe it was a new employee or something and they don't know what they are doing. :blink:

lol and above I meant "That's just me", not "that's just be" GRRR I hate that you only have like 15 seconds to edit posts!!!

I suggest to take a picture at the US post office. Its guaranteed to be correct as they process US Passports. I always take US passport sizes at the post office as this guarantees me that once is enough and has never failed. Its on a polaroid film so its done in like 5mins and they give you like 4 copies.

I would give Wal-mart a call and see if they have an hour waiting period for pictures, if so, it's not that bad. Get some Christmas shopping done while you are there... that hour will fly by!

Hon, all you can do is go and get it taken again.

I would go back to Walgreens and complain about the blurry picture. Get them to take it again.

Don't give "Put small business out of business" Walmart a penny. Do you have a local photo shop in your area? Many do very nice instant passport photos. The USPS is another good option.
