Wrong background, wrong size, wrong resolution, you name it. I tried every which way before I gave up and used a photobooth. this was my brothers experience too 55 minutes ago, choffer said: You don't even need to go to a booth anymore. I've got to renew mine this week and the guidance online says you can take the photo with your own tablet and upload it direct. You're talking to the guy who doesn't even own a mobile phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I did manage to still look like an escaped window licker though in said passport photo, so that's ok then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it gives me a code to use on my online application that the dotgov site had the photo in question within seconds of it being taken in a post office in Mid Wales is both amazing and terrifying at the same time to me.

I did that for my sons first passport around 19 years ago , so I don't think its a new thing ... unless it just applied to new borns at that time ? was a bloody nightmare getting the photo done , the clues were there even at a few months old he was gonna be an awkward bugger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a light coloured wall, make sure its day time so you don't need lights on and you dont get a shadow. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done mine, and all the families at home over the last couple of years without problems. They tell you what is needed on the website.

I assume they are clarifying any two because a lot of places like Las Iguanas you have to have two of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 That’s just reminded me.. at Christmas, I got given an envelope voucher thingy for the Physician in Edgbaston. The idea is you can only open it when the bill comes and that’s when you find out if you’ve got 25%, 50% or 100% off the food bill for up to 6 people. I thought it was a cool idea and was looking forward to it, but @lapal_fan and @Rob182 said it was a shit idea and they called me a massive c***. I’m not sure if that last bit was anything to do with the voucher, they might have just meant generally. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been friends since the start of high school, which we finished in 2003, so it is nice I guess! So what's that, about 25 years?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to go on a piss up with them but I know I'd be the one sitting quietly on the sidelines not being able to keep up with the witty banter that was being fired out. Massive peals of laughter whilst I was just going "Have you... Did you... You know...My mate once". And then I'd finally get a story in that would just be met with silence. That would be my role. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
