Is it a requirement to pay $25 to get a passport photo in the USA?

My passport photo is taken by the police authority when I go there for renewing my ID card + passport.

No, but people in the USA love overcharging for stuff, charge 10% taxes on top of it (that should have been paid out of the overcharged price), then ask you for 18%, 25%, or 30% tips on top of that with puppy face, then ask if you want to round up to donate to some no-name children's foundation.
