Re: Msg 1&2,

Re : no shoulders.

It is actually not strictly true and even more complicated than that.

Read all the requirements here:

I agree with SourBrandy, we had passports renewed via the High Commission here and via the UK passport office using photos from Yucel. The photos have to conform to very strict passport office specifications which I doubt photos from a photo booth will meet.

I agree Yucel's for sure, took me 2 weeks via High Commission here, photos were good, so many regs photo booths could create problem, ie no fringe allowed on face!

Thanks for the help... I'll give Yucel's a try.



Regarding photo booths, the ones in the UK now have a setting especially for the new passport photos.
