As far as cutting down to size, the software should appropriately position and size the photo (head to chin distance, etc.) with your assistance. It'll be a tool like this on the kiosk. The issue is that it will print on a 4x6 and then you have to cut the frame of the photo out to the 50 mm wide X 70 mm high.
If they can print the photo you could always cut them out yourself using a tool like this to get a consistent straight edge.
Of course, if you use the online tool, you can print 10 copies with four photos each for $6 (10 prints at 60 cents per 4 x 6"). The way the tool works is that it prints the four photos all right next to each other with a lip at the bottom. Only three cuts would be required (between top and bottom photos, between left and right photos, white lip at the bottom).
Why print ten copies? To save you time/gas going back to CVS if you make a mistake cutting some of them.
Once cut, you'd just need to label the back with the passport info and Citizenship photo requirements.
However, the requirements technically state that the photos must be taken by a commercial photographer and not just printed. So I would try to get the photo taken by the CVS worker and then printed at the kiosk. It's their responsibility to cut it correctly and guarantee the photos (that's why 2 photos cost $15, they refund or re-take the photos if they're rejected), and the software that CVS licenses provides an option to size/validate the photos according to the requirements.
And then self-size/print on 4x6 at CVS/label yourself as a last resort.
Ideally, something like this is fantastic. It has a rotary blade which cuts more like scissors than slicing the paper. It's smoother and straighter, and you can buy other blades to use with the same system that can cut different edges, like a wave.
A cheaper version is something like this. I own this tool, but plan to upgrade to a rotary style soon. This tool may not always cut exactly straight, but I personally think it is better than the chopping style.
Also, with sliding/rotary type tools, you're less likely to lose any bits of your fingers than you would be with a chopping style cutter.
