UK Passport photographs

Postby gerryh » Sun Feb 14, 2016 7:54 pm

I need to renew my UK passport.
Any recommendations for a photo booth or studio who are familiar with the requirements for a UK passport photo?
Anywhere in the Nerja to Rincon de la Victoria area, preferably in Torre del Mar.
Cheers
Gerry

Try the one just inside the El Ingenio centre in Torre. They do seem to understand the rules. Just make sure they get the background colour correct.

I think you'll find they have closed down.

There is a photo shop next to the police station though.

I believe Sid was referring to Mister Minit who do take photos and are still open.
There was a photo shop near them which closed a few years ago.
However Mister Minit was having a problem with their printer so I couldn't get me photos there.
Also tried the photo place next to the police station but they could only do photocopies.
I went to the Carefour centre in Rincon de la Victoria. The photo shop there, next to Mister Minit, takes photos. I started to unfold the sheet specifying the requirements for the photos and he asked, in perfect English "British passport?" He knows exactly how to take and print them to the requirements.

They did all of our UK passport photos, just make sure they are aware it is for an UK passport and take the requirements with you.

Gerry, La Cala Del Moral. The photo shop on the left going towards Malaga from your direction. UK approved passport photos for 3 euros.

In C/Pintada in Nerja there is a photo shop (the one on the left going up the road from the Balcon) that we have used and they also know exactly how to do the UK passport photos. We have used them a few times over the years without any problems.

Just used the photo shop next to the Police Station in Torre del Mar. No problems, and new passport back from UKPO (return was via DHL) in less than two weeks.

BTW, isn't the new UK passport quite something as a printed and anti-counterfeit document? You do need good eyesight to read its finer points, though.
