How much does a photo cost?

$9.99 one time, per document photo. No subscription, no per-download charge — the price includes the digital file and 30 days of re-downloads. Where your document uses prints, a print-ready sheet is an optional $2.99 add-on at checkout.

Do I pay before I see the photo?

No. Upload a photo and you see the finished result and its compliance verdict free, blurred and watermarked. You pay $9.99 only when it passes and you want the full-quality file.

What if my photo fails the check?

You pay nothing. The checker tells you exactly what failed, you retake and re-upload as many times as you need — retakes are free, and you only ever pay for a photo that passes.

What if a passport office or visa portal still rejects it?

We refund you, for 30 days from purchase: email info@readyvisaphoto.com with your order id and tell us it was rejected. No screenshots, no proof uploads, no forms.

Is the photo checker really free?

Yes. The checker at /check gives a full verdict on a photo you already have, free, with no account — whether or not you ever buy anything.

Pricing

One photo, one price.

Every document we cover — DS-160, US, UK and Australian passports, Schengen, China, OCI — costs the same: you see the finished photo and its compliance verdict free, and pay only if it passes.

~~$16.99~~at CVS; ours is $9.99

A compliance report — head size, background, file rules — checked before you ever pay
Optional at checkout: a print-ready 4×6 sheet, $2.99, where your document uses prints

Nothing ships. Every file downloads straight away — the photo, and the print sheet if you add it — so there is no delivery charge, no tax at checkout beyond what your card issuer applies, and nothing to wait for.

What the drugstore charges for less

A store counter hands you two prints, no digital file for the portals, and no promise your application will accept them. Verified in-store prices, from each retailer's own page:

Walgreens	$16.99 — two 2×2 prints, in store, no compliance guarantee
CVS	$17.99 — two 2×2 prints, in store, no compliance guarantee
USPS	$15 — two 2×2 prints, select post offices, no compliance guarantee
Walmart	$7.64 — prints only — no digital file, no compliance guarantee
ReadyVisaPhoto	~~$16.99~~at CVS; ours is $9.99 — the digital file, checked against the official spec, refund if rejected (print sheet optional)

The photo is the smallest line on a passport bill — the government's own charges are in the full 2026 passport fee table.

Rejected by the portal? We refund you.

Email us with your order id and the full amount goes back to your card. No screenshots, no proof — just tell us it was rejected.
