photos for british passports
Not sure if I am posting in right place..
We need to renew our passports and have been told by the post office that the dimensions may not be the correct size for a british passport, so just wondered if anyone else had come across this and where do you go to have your photos taken then??
Many thanks

Re: photos for british passports
Thanks NB but list is only cities.
I need to do the kids passports ready for our ENS application.
When I got my last UK passport (2years ago).
I used my own digital camera and they accepted it! However very worried about doing this when Im about to do an ENS, I dont want any hold ups.
Whats the problems with post office?

Someone on here did post a link to a d-i-y site for UK photos though. Might have been this one http://www.epassportphoto.com/ Not tried it myself as we have a local camera shop which can do compliant ones

Re: photos for british passports
JAJ,
3 childrens UK passports run out in August,
1 child passport runs out in December.
Adult passports have years left on them.
ENS nomination sent to immigration a couple of weeks ago by DET (hubby a teacher).
So expecting to do our forms start of July, and should have police checks and medicals to submit with our form.
*Do I need to renew all passports before I submit the ENS application?
Or because Im onshore already I can do passports at a later date (to save some money)
We are in Australia for last two year and not planning on trip abroad for long time. So otherwise in no rush to renew passports when I have to pay for visa and medicals for 6 of us.

Thanks JAJ,
I do believe you. Just wanted to double check, after 2 years on 457 want this ENS to go through smoothly. So thanks for getting back to me.

Re: photos for british passports
I had my daughter's photo for a British Passport renewal done in Kmart - wasn't the exact UK dimensions - head was a bit bigger but it went through with no problems - maybe I just struck lucky!

Re: photos for british passports
No doubt we would get some jobs worth that would knock it back, just so that we have to re-apply again through Aus Post.
