Default British Passport Photo in Los Angeles area

I need to get my British Passport renewed, but I am having a really hard time finding somewhere that does the correct size photo.

I would sincerely appreciate if someone could give me the name and address of a place within the Los Angeles area that does this.

Thank you very much for your help.

Do it yourself. The instructions are here. Get someone to take your picture on a digital camera and print it off to the correct measurements. We did all our passports and visa pictures like this and it was easy enough.

Or put the photo on a USB stick and print it off at CVS etc. for under a $.

We saved over $40 on US sized photos for our GC application.

The British sized photo gives 7 photos on a print versus 5 per print for the US size.

The good thing is that you can verify that the photo meets the specific country specific requirements.

Highly recommended.

When I changed my passport in DC I had pics taken at a CVS - US standard size and they used those without any problems.

same here. just use US standard sized photos (they are just wider so more background) the embassy will cut the sides off - it even says dont trim to size on the instructions(as they will do it).
Did my duaghters a few months ago and sending my sons renewal off this week.

So you are saying that if i use the standard American size photo they will still accept it? I don't see hot they expect us to get the British size passport pic, there is nobody around here that does them

Thanks everyone for your advice. I have just had normal US ones taken at CVS. I am going to send them in and see if they accept them.

It's reassuring to know that they have done this before.

Thanks.
