I had a wonderful experience at this passport photo studio. The service was fast, precise, and very clean. The charming lady who works there is exceptionally kind and professional--I've visited twice, once for my mom and once for myself, and both experiences were excellent. I initially made a mistake regarding the photo size, even though she had correctly advised me. When I returned the next day, she kindly redid everything without charging me again, even though she absolutely could have. Her kindness, patience, and professionalism truly stood out. Highly recommended! read more

Excellent customer service. Picture turned out great and was accepted by the passport office. Location owner is very nice and friendly. 5 stars. read more

The photographer working with me was very helpful. She (and the business as a whole entity) guaranteed that they would produce a photo that would be accepted for my school ID card. Well, thank goodness they have their guarantee because I ended up having an issue with my first photo, which had to do with the color of my shirt being too light and perhaps blending in with the white background. The team at Instant Passport Photo offered to let me retake my photo as many times as needed, or they could refund me. I retook the photo, and this second one was accepted and became my school ID. Given this brief but critical experience, I find Instant Passport Photo to seriously be an honest business with a friendly team. I am always thankful to be able to support upstanding local businesses! read more

Walked by this place many many times not noticing it. Had to print off a label and the post office a block away hasn't come into 2025 to allow printing off a phone and sent me here. Instead of her charging me $2-3 and paying in cash only, she just printed it out for me and let me use the printer. I'm sure she's just as helpful when it comes to passport services. Will be back when my passport expires read more

This place lives up to its name! I got my passport photo completed within minutes. They are definitely knowledgeable about the photo requirements for different countries and made sure mine will be accepted for my passport renewal. I also love that they let me review the photo, ensured I liked it before they printed it out. I'm happy to be using a great photo for the next decade. read more

She was so kind and lovely! Took an amazing passport photo. It really looks so good, her camera is amazing! Husband and I were in and out in 10 min. Easily best passport photo in LA read more

What a wonderful experience! The service was quick, with no wait. The price, at $15, was reasonable. Moreover, Dee was so kind and accommodating, taking various pictures of my teen daughter until she was pleased with the results. As a grandma of 11, she is wonderful and very patient with children. One word of advice- DO NOT WEAR WHITE. The required background is white and your picture will be blown out. Dee gave us a heads up, so we went home to change into blue and the results were stellar! read more

Amazing quality pictures for whatever you need them. Welcoming and attentive to what you need. Definitely recommend and coming back!

Deb was so wonderful to work with. She immediately knew what was needed for a canadian passport and citizenship photo and even provided a digital copy. She took the photos of my young children and I had no issues receiving our citizenship. read more

Attention fellow Canadians in need of passport photos! DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!! Dee will take care of you and your photos will not get rejected! Unfortunately I did not come here first. I wasted time and money going elsewhere, only to have my application sent back to me for not meeting the measurement requirements. Dee knows what she's doing and as an added bonus, she is so lovely. I should also mention that she made me look particularly great in my photo. Merci Beaucoup Dee! read more

I went here for Australian passport photos. The employee was very friendly but unfortunately, the photos were not accepted by the AUS Consulate. The Australian Consulate is very picky about photos, much more than USA passport offices-- the photos need to be a certain resolution and printed on specific paper. I mentioned this to the employee. I asked for a physical and digital file of the photos, and the digital file was very low quality. I mentioned this and the employee said this should not be an issue, and that other clients have submitted low-quality photos with no problems. I just tried submitting the digital file to have it professionally printed and immediately it was flagged and I will have to retake the photo. Unfortunately, this was a waste of my time and money, and now I have to go take a photo again because it was not sent to me in full quality. read more

Excellent place to come for your Canadian passport photos! They know what they're doing. Professional and reasonably priced. Thank you!

I got raw pictures ! Very bad quality. It is totally wrong! It's not cropped to the size I was asked for (600/600) . and pictures taken such way that I couldn't even normally crop them myself! Really I could do better pics on my iPhone for 0$. I paid for this mess 60$ . Ridiculous. Lady was rushed us because other customer came and she yelled at us both . ‍ who write these 5 starts reviews lol ? read more

Went to get photos for my Canadian passport which is not a common photo. Fast service and Canada accepted it immediately.

Love this family-owned business! Dee helped me out and was very friendly. Asked what I needed, had let me check my photo, and made sure the photo was to my liking even after it was printed. Whole thing was done in 10 min (could even be done quicker but I had a flashback Mary incident with my setting powder ). Heads up that they don't accept Apple Pay/Samsung Pay but are working on it! I had my cards and cash on me, but Dee said she knows more people are preferring contactless payment, so she's getting it soon. Very thoughtful of her! PARKING: there's a plaza on the right side (if you're facing the store) that was easy to get parking in. Love the ease. read more

Fast, friendly, and affordable, need I say more? Let's support our local family owned businesses like Instant Passport Photo! Oh btw, if you are using waze for navigation, do not go to the alley as suggested by waze. They are on Reseda and there is plenty of street parking. THANK YOU Instant Passport Photo! read more

Jim was able to take my baby girls picture for her passport when I had no luck at home. We will always use them for passports. I tried so many times and failed to get my daughter to sit in front of a white back drop. I was so pleased that my baby girl was able to sit still enough for Jim to get a picture: We did all of our children with them. Age 2, 3, & 5. We will go to them for all of our passport photo needs. read more

Great place. Great service. Support local business for your photo shoot or passport photos

I was looking for a local business to take some quick passport snapshots, and found this place via Yelp. I was in and out in 15 minutes, and am very happy with the pics. No stress, zero wait, much better than dealing with CVS or Rite Aid! A+ read more

Wonderful, considerate service! I went here specifically because the Yelp reviews were so good (and so many!)! I am so pleased that I did. Service was friendly and helpful. They really took their time with the photo as opposed to just sitting me down, snapping a photo, getting it back and handing it over. Dee took two photos of me because she thought the first one didn't match her standards. She did not have to do that (I thought it was ok). I appreciated her attention to detail. And she was right - the second one was much more flattering and since we have our passports for so long it's nice to get a good photo! ; -) I recommend Instant Passport Photo 100%. Plus it's nice to support local businesses. read more

Quick and easy! I required 6 passport photos for immigration purposes, and was able to find this location off Reseda Blvd that specializes in "Official Passport Photos". The man who assisted me was absolutely lovely and answered any questions I had regarding whether to smile or not, etc. I was instructed to remove my earrings (but only the pair that aren't studs) before we proceeded. The photo was snapped and I was allowed to view the photo before being asked if I wanted another or if I was happy with the one we'd just taken. I had another taken, but upon comparison I ended up going with the first one anyway!! Usually it's one and done, so I was very impressed I had the opportunity to assess prior to having six copies made. I'll definitely be back for any future passport/immigration image needs. It's worth noting these are hard copy images only, so if you needed a digital you could always scan it in later (which is what I do sometimes) but you won't be able to get a digital copy of the hardcopy images when they're taken at this location. happy to have found somewhere inexpensive, professional, and fast! read more

I had to obtain a strict & specific sized passport photo. The owner was extremely kind & very helpful in assisting with my request. It's a humble business in the Valley. If you need a specific sized passport photo, then this would be your place. read more

I went to other big name passport picture service providers and got subpar service and picture quality. I found Instant Passport Photo online and decided to give them a visit and I was thoroughly impressed by their friendliness and clean office. I was in and out with perfect passport photos in hand in 5 minutes. I would surely recommend this local family owned business over the big name competitors any day. read more

Provender: great spot in Reseda to get your passport photographs taken. My visa to a Southeast Asian country required two photos, so I decided to have my picture taken here. I don't regret it, the whole process took about five minutes. The man behind the booth was friendly and pleasant. Prices: two passport photos will run you about $13. Parking: street metered parking. People: n/a Perks: they have a mirror, so you can get your hair nice and proper. They also have personal mailboxes here. read more

They do Schengen visa photos here. Literally took 5 minutes. Great service. Affordable prices and no bs. Beautiful family owned business.

I called for passport photo pic pricing. I gave all the info, what size it needed to be & the lady quoted me a price. I came in & took pictures. When i was checking out she charged me 3 x the price she initially quoted me. Instead of apologizing for her mistake in misquoting the price she started raising her voice saying shes closing now and basically yanked the photos out of hand and started mumbling words. She was VERY rude and awful. I try to support small businesses but her mistreatment and tone of voice was unacceptable. Please be aware! read more

I came in for some quick passport photos other than going to a big name (cvs) store. BEST decision! Dee was super sweet and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Great price and parking was super easy to find (around 1pm) on the street! Definitely recommend. read more

I should have listened to the bad reviews :( The owner (Jim?): 1) wrote the wrong year on the back of my elderly relative's Canadian passport photo (making it void),  2) took photos with my relative's head tilted (which is against the passport photo rules), and  3) threw a fit after I politely asked about a reshoot the next day, as instructed by Passport Canada agents. He rudely shovelled money at me, snatched my photos that weren't his to take, and growled at me to take my elderly relative to another photo place. Three strikes and he's out! If you're in need of passport and immigration photos, go somewhere else. Here's the full story of the odd experience we had there: I called ahead and made sure this shop could handle Canadian passport and immigration/citizenship photos. The shop owner assured me he could. So I drove my elderly relative 30 minutes there. Afterward, I get home and notice that the owner wrote the wrong year, 2016, on the back of my relative's passport photo. That's a big problem, because Canadian passport photos must be less than 6 months old by the photographer's written date. So I have to drive another hour back and forth to get a reprint with a corrected date.  I raised my eyebrow when he volunteered that it was the first time he'd made that same mess-up *within the past two months*.... I didn't want him to feel bad, so I told him not to worry about it, and that stuff like that happens. After getting home again, I looked more closely at the photos, to make sure there wasn't another error. Then I saw that my family member's head was noticeably tilted in the photos (both for citizenship and passport). It was bad enough that I even tested the photo with a protractor, and her head was angled well-off the centerline.  So, I checked the Canadian photo requirements booklet, and there it was: "The head must not be tilted to the side."  I googled this problem, and came across multiple people whose Canadian passport photos got rejected for head tilt. Then I call the Passport Canada telephone hotline, and the agent strongly suggests the photo be re-taken. So I make time -- for the third time now -- to go to the shop, bringing along my senior citizen family member. I courteously tell the owner about the conversation I had with Passport Canada, and how they strongly suggested a re-shoot because of head tilt, to avoid rejection. You would have thought I asked Michaelangelo to re-paint the Sistine Chapel. Jim builds into a quiet huff, marches over to the cash register with a steamed look on his face, and grabs some bills to toss toward me. Then he snatches the photos (even though I own them and I had not asked or agreed to a refund, mind you). I explained that he misunderstood, because we'd like him to do the photos, we just need the photos without the head tilt.  Instead, he tells us we need to go somewhere else for the photos! (He also seemed to sarcastically wish us good luck finding a place that could produce a photo that meets Canadian requirements.) I was shocked -- was this was this an episode of Pranked?  Nope, he was just acting like an angry weirdo. Anyways, my relative and I wound up at a shop on Ventura near Sepulveda that also knew the Canadian photo requirements for passport and citizenship photos. (And it even happened to cost less than Jim.) And both those sets of photos have since been accepted by the Canadian government. My relative now has her passport and citizenship certificate, so Jim is not the only game in town. I don't like leaving bad reviews and wasn't going to comment, but then I saw Jim's bad treatment of other people who voiced their opinions on his service, so.... Buyer beware! read more

The gentleman who helped me was very nice. He was very attentive and nice when taking my pictures. He was not bothered at all that I had him take me 5 pictures before I could choose one I liked. I didnt feel rushed and he told me the do's and don'ts of taking a passport photo. He was also knowledgable about some passport questions I had. I will definitely be coming back for future picture needs when necessary. read more

Jim is awesome and very friendly awesome customer service However his wife on the other hand is the complete opposite. Lately they have been closing randomly with no notice to customers and or no note for the delivery drivers. Which should not be happening quite this often. Can you believe that one of the policy rules is: "If you are rude or disrespectful they will raise the price." Overall before the pandemic everything seemed fine during/after COVID she started being the main receiver and that's when it all started going downhill. read more

SUPER fast and easy. The owner, Jim, was very sweet and patient. He has a large mirror with pretty great lighting that he lets you use to fix yourself up. It's clean in there. There's a variety of beverages, snacks, and passport wallets (which I helped myself to thanks to how affordable everything else was). Highly recommend! Thanks Jim! read more
