Same-Day ID Photo Printing in Ho Chi Minh City: Sizes, Price, Address

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

Sometimes you need a set of ID photos immediately: documents are due tomorrow morning, paperwork is happening this afternoon, or your wallet has run out of the last photo. In that moment, the first question is often “where can I print ID photos same day, what size should I print, and how much does it cost?” In a large city like Ho Chi Minh City, with hundreds of photo-copy shops, choosing a place that is fast and still reduces rejection risk is not as simple as it seems.

In this guide, Gạo Nâu summarizes everything about same-day ID photo printing in Ho Chi Minh City: common print sizes, reference pricing, whether you can print from a phone file, and specific addresses where you can take and receive photos in the same visit. The goal is that after reading, you know exactly what to do and avoid unnecessary return trips.

What same-day ID photo printing means and how long it takes

Simply put, same-day ID photo printing means you receive printed photos on paper within minutes, on site. There are two common cases.

The first case is that you already have a compliant photo file. The file may have been taken by another studio or by yourself. The shop only needs to crop it to the right size, lay it out on a sheet, and print it on photo paper. This is fast, often only 3–5 minutes.

The second and more common case is that you do not have a photo and need to take a new one before printing. This is when you need a real ID photo studio with a proper background, good lighting, and a photographer who understands requirements for each document type. At Gạo Nâu, the whole shooting, editing, and printing workflow takes about 15–30 minutes.

The key difference is here: many places can print photos, but an ID photo that is compliant and optimized for approval depends on how the photo is taken and processed before printing. A beautifully printed image with the wrong background, light, or face proportion can still be rejected.

Common ID photo print sizes

Before printing, you need to know which size you need. Each document has its own size requirement, and printing the wrong size is one of the most common reasons photos are rejected. Here are common ID photo sizes in Vietnam:

Important note: print size in centimeters and face proportion inside the frame are different things. Passport and visa photos often have strict rules for head height, distance from chin to top of head, and eye position. For important documents, you should confirm requirements with the receiving office before printing many copies, so you do not have to discard them later.

If you want deeper guidance on each number and requirement, the 590k ID photo service at Gạo Nâu includes correct file cropping for each document type, including online submission files.

How many ID photos fit on one print sheet?

Many people ask this because shops often print on 10x15 cm photo paper, equivalent to 4x6 inch. The number of ID photos per sheet depends on your required size and cutting margins:

• 3x4 cm: usually about 6–8 photos on one 10x15 cm sheet.
• 4x6 cm: usually about 4–6 photos per sheet.
• 3.5x4.5 cm: usually about 6 photos per sheet.

The exact number can vary slightly by layout and printer. In practice, you do not need to calculate it yourself. Tell the studio which document type and quantity you need, and the staff will lay out the sheet efficiently so you have enough photos without waste.

Can you print ID photos from a phone file?

The short answer is yes, but only if the file is good enough. If you already have a compliant ID photo file with enough resolution, correct background, even lighting, and a clear face, sending it by Zalo or presenting it at the counter for printing is completely possible and fast.

The problem is that most phone-taken photos fail these requirements. Common issues include:

• Non-compliant background: home walls are uneven, or automatic background removal cuts into hair and clothing edges.
• Uneven lighting: one side of the face is bright while the other is dark, or a shadow appears behind the head, which official photos do not accept.
• Low resolution: the photo looks fine on a screen but becomes blurry or grainy on paper.
• Wrong face proportion: the face is too large or too small in the frame compared with requirements.

This is why many people choose to take a new photo at a studio instead of trying to print from a phone file. When you need a photo quickly and still want to be safe, same-day ID photos in Ho Chi Minh City help you receive photos fast without worrying that the file itself is not compliant.

Why you should take a new photo instead of only reprinting an old file

Many people keep an old ID photo file and want to print more copies to save money. That is reasonable if the file is recent, compliant, and your appearance has not changed much. However, there are situations where retaking is smarter.

If the old photo was taken a few years ago, your face may have changed enough for the receiving officer to notice a mismatch. Some documents also require photos taken within the last 6 months. In addition, each application type has its own background and size requirement, so an old file may not suit a new purpose.

When you take a new photo at Gạo Nâu, you receive 2 photo versions for each order: one raw-style version adjusted strictly for public documents and visas, and one more polished version for CVs, social avatars, or internal profiles. Retouching is always light and does not change the face shape, eyes, nose, or mouth, matching Japanese and Korean identity standards so scanners can still identify you accurately.

The studio also keeps both white and blue backgrounds ready for different documents, with a commitment: if the photo fails because of requirements, Gạo Nâu will reshoot or correct the file for free. That is difficult to guarantee when you print from an unknown file.

Nearby ID photo printing in Ho Chi Minh City: how to choose

When you search for “ID photo printing near me,” you will see many results. To choose a place that is convenient and reliable, prioritize these criteria:

• Document-specific shooting: the place should understand how CCCD, passports, and visas differ, instead of using one photo style for everything.
• Correct file cropping: the file should be cropped to the right size and face ratio for each application.
• Reshoot or correction support: this is the most important safety net if requirements fail.
• Digital file delivery: useful for both paper documents and online submissions.

Ảnh Thẻ Gạo Nâu is positioned in the premium segment, not competing to be the cheapest, but focusing on photos that are beautiful, compliant, and optimized for approval. With photographers who regularly update ID photo requirements from many countries, you can be more confident that the photo you receive has a better chance of being accepted on the first submission.

In Ho Chi Minh City, the convenient choices are the District 10 studio and District 3 studio, both easy to find and open throughout the day. You can visit, take photos, and receive prints in the same appointment without a complicated booking process.

Reference prices for printing and taking ID photos
