Sure. Just read the requirements, i.e. 2 x 2, full front, etc. I recently did my own passport-type photos for a visa to India using a digital camera, my computer and my color printer. Worked fine.

On average you’ll get a much better quality image from a traditional : camera than you will from a digital camera. Assuming decent paper, the print from $100 HP or Epson color printer and any modern digital camera will beat the pants off your average point’n’shoot developed at Walmart. The primary stumbling block for digital photography remains lack of resolution, but this is only an issue if you’re planning on printing something bigger than A4, and certainly doesn’t apply to passport photos!
