Choose from among the businesses that provide passport photos in the Jackson, Mississippi, area. In the Jackson area, for example, you can obtain a passport photo at five or more RiteAid pharmacy stores in the area that have one-hour photo services and at more than 10 Walgreens pharmacy stores with photo labs.
Prepare for your photo. Passport photos are taken in color. The photo will likely be the only passport image you will have for 10 years. Have your hair trimmed, washed and styled and choose a colorful blouse, shirt, sweater or scarf to complement your skin tone. Women should wear a touch of makeup and men should be either clean shaven, or with mustaches or beards trimmed.
Prepare to bring the proper purchase amount. As of December 2010, RiteAid charged $7.99 for a sheet of passport photos; Walgreens charged $8.99 for two passport photos.
Go to the RiteAid or Walgreens location nearest you and approach the photo development lab desk. Tell the clerk you wish to have your passport photo taken. The photo clerk will arrange the equipment and take your photo in an area near the photo development desk.
Wait a few minutes for your photos to develop. Purchase your photos and take them home.
