tarotangel Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Where is the best to get Passport Photos these days? We thought we'd try the een at Tesco but it's not working at the mo. Thanks. (***Mod Edit - Topic moved to consumer advice & resources***) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlady Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I got mine done at Dennis Coutts on the street, no appointment and if I mind right it was £5.50 for 2 photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassermaet Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 £5.50 for 2? I'm sure I paid that for 4, although that was ages ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlady Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Sorry you're right it was 4 photos .. (old age doesna come its self) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeno Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 You've got to be VERY careful that the photos are just right, particularly if you wear glasses (no reflections allowed). I've had ones rejected because my head was just a tiny bit too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarotangel Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Thankfully not needed for Passports at the moment but will keep that in mind for when I do (two years time). My head is a bit on the small side too. *makes note to be nearer the camera* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 we went to camera shop on commercial st. Can't remember how much, but you got 8 prints and as it's digital you get to keep on trying until you get a good shot - with my mug a long time.

khitajrah Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Why 8 though? What on Earth am I supposed to do with these other 6 pictures where I do, for some strange reason, look like America's first female serial killer - you know, that woman.... ~cringe~ That's what happens when you don't let them try and take a decent photo. I just went with the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances144 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 We did our own. I made each person sit on the back rim of the sofa where there is a nice bit of white crofthouse wall behind and took photos. Then I cropped them as per instructions and requirements of the Passport Authority. Then off to the PO to get it all checked (if you can be arsed, though their method is not fool-proof - I know of someone who go the lot back even though it had been "checked" by the PO) and posted off. Cost me an hour's work and it wasn't really rocket science just a bit of cropping and NO PHOTOSHOPPING, I promise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Why 8 though? What on Earth am I supposed to do with these other 6 pictures...Child always steals one. Travel card. Access card. Never seem to have enough of the things for id. Just none of them work for northlink/flybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarotangel Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Doing it yourself is a fab idea but we don't have a scrap of white in the house unfortunately. I'll see if Mam and Dad would let me paint a wall white Having moved back up I'm needing lots of photo for ID so I might go to Camera Centre and get it done there. Is it both shops that do it or just the one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooks Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 If I remember rightly then the background is supposed to be a slightly off-white colour for passport photos and things. ^Edit --> Ah yes, "be taken against a plain cream or plain light grey background;" From the Identity & Passport Service website.
