Passports and Services
New Passport Processing
Passport Books
- Globally recognized and accepted for all forms of travel
- Available in two sizes: the regular 26-page book or a large 50-page book. The large book is no additional charge, and recommended if you may be traveling frequently.
Passport Cards
- A convenient wallet sized card that can only be used for land and some sea travel in the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Bermuda, and Caribbean.
- Accepted as federal identification if your Driver License does not meet the new federal requirements.
- Beginning May 7th, 2025, domestic travelers will be required to present a “Real ID” to board a flight. While Arizona driver’s licenses without a gold star will no longer be accepted, a passport card or book fulfills all the federal requirements.
- Visit this page for more information regarding passport cards, and for help determining if you should get a card instead of a book.

- Our passport photos only cost $15, which is cheaper than most other options.
Visa Photos
- We are able to take visa photos that meet the requirements of every country around the world so that you don’t have to worry that your visa photos will be rejected. While many countries will accept the normal passport size photos for your visa photo, some countries have very specific requirements, so no matter where you get your visa photos, we recommend obtaining them from a professional service that can provide country specific photos.
