That is incorrect.

I had to get a passport late last year. Went to the post office (~30 min
drive from where I live), checked my hair and stood in front of the fixed
camera on the counter. For some reason it didn't work, so she got the
hand-held camera, took us out the back and snapped some shots there.
She printed them off, put them in a nice envelope, and handed them
back to us to get endorsed.

Oh, and no appointment necessary. Just rock up and say you want
passport photos.
