Passport photos

[janmack]

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

Phil has to get his passport renewed soon and would like to know if anyone can recommend the best place to go to get his photos taken.

Many thanks.

There are lots of photoshops in the area that do these, closest one to you in in Gunlukbasi on the right hand side heading toward fethiye

Thanks Andy we are aware of that.  

It's just that when I had my passport renewed via the Consulate 4 years ago I had to keep go back to get the photos re-done about 3 times as size/background was wrong.  

It wasn't too much hassle as the photoshops and consulate were all within walking distance of eachother so it only took a couple of hours to get everything right.  

Phil's concern is that as he has to send the documentation off to Frankfurt and if the photos are not deemed acceptable it'll take ages to get his passport sorted.  This is why he's asking if anyone knows a photoshop that will take the correct type of photos.

Many thanks.

Have a look on the UK passport website you can  print out a copy of a photo with what size colour etc you need for your passport and take it along with you to the photo shop.

Also, if he normally wears glasses, these must be taken off for the photographs nowadays, despite what the Home Office guidance booklet says

Thanks for the replies.

He doesn't wear glasses so that's not a problem.

I seem to recall doing what Sus advises when I had mine done but the consulate still kept saying they were wrong!  This is why we wondered if there was any shop where you can rely on them to do it properly 1st time.

Oh well, we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed the photos are accepted

We've done that Martin.  

Our concern is that following my experience with consulate, Phil's photos will be rejected and he'll have to re-send to Frankfurt causing delays, hence the request for advice on reliable photoshop.  

We're probably worrying over nothing but, as you know, our flights are booked for April and the way our luck is running at the moment we can foresee problems
