I don't live near a Walgreens or CVS so can't use their services.

Just checked the status of my application - passport dispatched (it only arrived in the UK on Monday - 4 days ago!) I sent both the trimmed and untrimmed photos, so I guess one of those combinations worked!

The biggest problem I have is finding another UK person to sign the photos.

Re: British passport photo size.
Can anyone comment on the background color issue? My Walgreens has a UK setting, but I'm concerned they only have a white background. Can anyone confirm they used WAlgreens with a white background and it was OK?

Yup, just renewed mine with Walgreens photos cut to UK size but on a white background and there was no problem at all.

I just did my kids passports and used Walgreens. They used their UK template but would not cut. I just sent them uncut (the actual dimensions were to the UK spec) and they were accepted fine.
