ID Photos in Ho Chi Minh City and Nearby Districts

Updated: 29/07/2026 · 7 min read · Written by the Ảnh Thẻ Gạo Nâu team

Living and working in a large city like Saigon, finding an ID photo studio that is nearby, good-looking, and optimized for approval can take more thought than preparing the paperwork itself. Distance between districts, rush-hour traffic, and the fear of retaking photos because the first one failed can turn a small task into a tiring half-day.

The good news is that ID photos in Ho Chi Minh City are now more convenient than you may think. Ảnh Thẻ Gạo Nâu has two central studios, District 10 and District 3, located along routes that work well for most inner districts: District 1, Phú Nhuận, Bình Thạnh, Tân Bình, District 11, and even farther areas such as Gò Vấp or District 7. In this guide, Gạo Nâu helps you choose the branch closest to you and understand the best direction from each area.

Where are Gạo Nâu’s two Ho Chi Minh City ID photo studios?

Instead of spreading many small points thinly, Gạo Nâu invests in two properly equipped studios in the city center. Both use the same process, the same photo standards, and the same quality commitment, so whichever branch you visit, the experience and result are consistent.

Both locations sit on familiar major roads, are easy to find on maps, and are not difficult for parking. You can see details for each location on the District 10 studio and District 3 studio pages to choose the better route for your schedule.

Directions by area

Each area of Saigon has its own “nearest” branch. Here are quick suggestions so you do not take an unnecessary detour.

Customers in District 1 and the city center

If you are in District 1, the District 3 studio on Lê Văn Sỹ is usually the nearest choice. Traveling from central District 1 to District 3 takes only a short time, which is useful for office workers who want to take ID photos during lunch break and return to work. This is why many people searching for “ID photos near District 1” are guided toward the District 3 branch.

Customers in Bình Thạnh and Phú Nhuận

Bình Thạnh and Phú Nhuận both border District 3, so the Lê Văn Sỹ branch is often the fastest destination. The route is familiar and usually does not require circling through many large junctions. Avoiding morning and late-afternoon rush hours will make the trip easier.

Customers in Tân Bình and District 11

From Tân Bình or District 11, the District 10 studio on Đường 3/2 is usually closer. This area has wider roads and easy access, so reaching the District 10 branch is straightforward. If you are between the two, choose the branch that best fits your route after the session.

Customers in Gò Vấp and District 7

Gò Vấp and District 7 are farther from the central core, but do not let that stop you. From these areas, reaching District 10 or District 3 usually takes about 15–30 minutes depending on traffic and your starting point. A short trip for a compliant same-day ID photo is still better than taking a quick photo near home and having the application returned.

If you are not sure which route is fastest, message Zalo Ảnh Thẻ Gạo Nâu, send your starting address, and the team will recommend the nearer branch and give route guidance.

What is different about choosing a central studio?

Choosing a central studio is not only about distance. More importantly, it affects whether your photo is good-looking and likely to pass approval from the first attempt.

Ảnh Thẻ Gạo Nâu is positioned as a premium service: not the cheapest option, but focused on three things: beautiful photos, correct requirements, and approval readiness. These are values a sidewalk quick photo booth cannot fully guarantee.

• 2 photo versions for each order. Each order includes a RAW-style version adjusted to strict requirements for official paperwork and visas, plus a more polished version for CVs, avatars, or internal profiles. You do not have to choose between “beautiful” and “compliant”; you receive both.
• Free reshoot if the photo does not meet requirements. If the issue comes from size or background requirements, the studio will reshoot or correct the file for free. The team regularly updates requirements from many countries.
• Retouching that preserves identity. Editing never changes the face shape, eyes, nose, or mouth, following strict Japanese and Korean identity standards so recognition systems can match you correctly.
• White and blue backgrounds ready, correct cropping included. Files are prepared to the right size for each document, including online submission files, so you do not have to struggle with cropping yourself.

All of this is included in the 590k ID photo service for administrative photos such as CCCD, passports, and visas. For special legal requirements by document or country, you should still confirm with the receiving office, and Gạo Nâu will adjust the photo accordingly.

Booking tips for a smooth session

To avoid wasting a trip into the center, prepare a little before you arrive:

• Book in advance through the hotline or Zalo, especially on weekends or during lunch hours, when the studios are busier.
• Tell the studio your document type in advance, such as CCCD, passport, which country’s visa, or CV photo, so the right background and file size can be prepared.
• Bring specific requirements if your receiving office has its own rules for size, face ratio, or background color.
• Wear a neat collared outfit and arrive a few minutes early to tidy up, helping the photo look better from the first shot.

Both studios are open 08:00 – 20:00 daily, making it easier to find a suitable time even with a busy schedule.
