Title: help please - print passport photos at home
Post by: Squash64 on December 02, 2010, 20:22:10
I think someone posted a link to a site which made printing passport size photos easy but I forgot to save it.  Anyone remember what it was?

Having just renewed the family's passports I can tell you that the UK passport office clearly states that they do not accept photos done at home.

I dare say that it is because the techniques available for altering photos could be used, removing wrinkles and improving other features.

It is the £5 a time machines available at a lot of shopping centres and supermarkets. A lot of photographers offer a service for £5.99 with a guarantee that the photo will be accepted.

However you are welcome to try

http://www.epassportphoto.com/ works well.  You need to skip the page where they offer to print your pix for a fee, and you can then download the images ready for your own printer.  Remember to use proper photo printing paper, not just ordinary inkjet paper.

Thanks both.

I should have mentioned that the photo is not for a passport, but for my grandson for college.  He just needed one roughly the size of a passport photo.
