Let’s have a look at some of the highlights of each passport photo provider.
Passport Photo Online
Firstly, for those of you who want to get a passport photo from the comfort of your home, Passport Photo Online can’t be beaten.
I was surprised at how easy it was. The app gave clear instructions on how to take a passport pic, making it very simple. The best feature was that you didn't have to worry about the background, lighting etc the app made the appropriate changes for you.
Mrs Linda Sturrock
With 11 years of professional experience and over 3 million processed biometric photos, we guarantee our photos comply with all HM Passport Office requirements, or we’ll refund double your purchase cost.
Additionally, with our service, you get:
- The convenience of snapping your passport photos (and your children’s photos) on your terms—no store hours to consider, time pressure or waiting in queues
- Unlimited retakes and only pay when you're 100% satisfied with your photos
- Home delivery of passport photo prints within 3 business days
Max Spielmann
The retailer’s two-pronged approach to passport photos is noteworthy, as customers can get their photos taken in person at a Max Spielmann shop or at one of their photo booths (located in most supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, and Morrison’s).
Furthermore, Max Spielmann offers:
- Two pricing options: £12.99 and up for in-store photos or £6.00–£8.00 for passport photos taken at one of their photobooths
- For in-store photos, customers can retake their picture up to 10 times
- Wheelchair-friendly passport photo booths at select locations
Asda Photo
While their dedicated website offers some of the cheapest passport photos in the UK, using their online service requires the individual to ensure their pictures comply with HM Passport Office standards since no compliance guarantee or compliance check is provided.
In addition, the retailer:
- Offers Max Spielmann photo booths at many store locations where passport photos range in price between £6.00–£8.00
- Online service offers home delivery of photo products (including passport photos) within 5–7 working days
- In-store photo booths are typically open longer due to the supermarket chain’s longer working hours (07:00–23:00 at most locations)
Timpson
With over 900 Timpson locations across the UK offering passport photo service, you’re bound to find a shop around the corner.
Along with their large number of locations, Timpson shops:
- Offer in-person walk-in service only—your photos are ready in only a few minutes
- Use Fuji cameras and the latest tech to ensure compliance with all regulations
- Provide a guarantee on all their photos (free replacement if the photo gets rejected by HM Passport Office agents)
Unfortunately, when it comes to pricing, there is no nationwide standard price; however, most locations charge approximately £10.00 per set.
Photo-Me
With over 3700 photo booths around the UK, Photo-Me’s self-service photo booths have become a popular option for passport photos. Besides the large number of booths, ME Group offers:
- His Majesty’s Passport Office-approved photos that also conform to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards
- Photo booths located in high-traffic areas such as supermarkets (Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s, etc.) and train stations
- Competitive pricing for passport photos (£5.00–£8.00 at most locations)
