2"x2" photos in the UK

[haleywynne 0]

I know, Snappy Snaps. Or Kodak Express. Ash is pretty far from the nearest Snappy Snaps and has a disabled car at the moment. Also, he doesn't think he could get the proper lighting taking a photo at home and sending it to Kodak.

Are there any other places in the UK that could possibly take these American-sized 2x2 passport photos? It's annoying because it's the only thing holding us back from filing right now!

Where is he located in the UK?

Just do a search on google and see what the nearest is there are some independent companies that do it, as they put the digital image through a computer programme to make sure that it meets all the requirements.

This may or may not help. Check out your local independant electronic shops. I have one that the guy takes the picture with his digital camera and the software sizes the picture to US or UK specs, then it prints out of the free standing machine like they have in Boots. Its just a thought, good luck finding a place!

About a mile from the middle of nowhere is what he would say haha. He lives in Menith Wood, which is near Bewdley, which is near Kidderminster, which is somewhat near to Worcester haha.

Hmm, I'll tell him about this. It sounds like it could be our best bet! Thanks

He said all passport photo places he knows are just booths that all do the same size photo.

moving to the UK forum to hopefully increase the number of possible solutions....

I did them myself. Took the picture at home with my camera on white background, then photoshopped it a bit so it was bright enough, then trimmed it to a 2x2 and printed 2 dozens on photo paper bought at a store (my home printer is a rather good one). It's cheaper, I have plenty for when I land in the states and they don't see the difference at the embassy.

Don't let that hold you back!

Good luck...

Hmmm, I'll try that too. Thanks!

Also thanks for moving it to the UK section, I never noticed there was one, sorry!

are the pictures for the initial application & G325A? the passport picture sent in on my form was a std UK picture size, we just left a large protion of border on.

For the medical again it was std UK size, but for the Embassy interview i had the correct US size.

Just a note that for the Embassy interview they have a photo booth inside the USE.

we did ours ourselves as well - had no problems with them

*resisting the urge to say 'you should try Snappy Snaps'*

So you really got away with the UK size photos? Hmmm... I don't think he will believe me haha. I want him to try himself and photoshop till the lighting is right. Thanks!

Edit: Yes, it's for the G325a form.

Edit 2: Rob&Dawn, he want to know when it was you filed...

I wouldn't risk UK size photos; you're specifically told not to do that

but up to you I guess...
