UK passport photos in Massachusetts
Hello...can anyone help identify a professional passport photographer in either NYC or Massachusetts please? My UK passport expired in Sept last year and I need to renew it urgently. I live in Western MA and will travel to NYC or Boston if necessary. Thanks...James

Have you checked your local drug store, or wherever passport photos are available in your area? My local CVS is able to provide photos to UK specifications. I've also had it done (but this is a number of years ago) at a Sears store.

You can upload your own photograph. Get someone to take your photograph (against a clear, blank wall). No need to visit anywhere.

This is the website I have bookmarked, though there are others. It's a lot cheaper to take your own picture, have it printed at CVS or similar, and cut it out yourself.

I always respond to this question by suggesting Walgreens, then others respond by saying they don't do it. I know 100% that my local one does; I have used it several times. If you have a convenient one it may be worth checking.

AAA will do passport photos for you to the UK specification.
In the past I've simply sent in US sized ones without a problem, and my most recent passport renewal did it all online as mentioned by others above...easy. Mind you, the new passport is not back yet

Re: UK passport photos in Massachusetts
Sorry to hijack, OP, but this thread spurred me on to do my own passport renewal! A question for those who have renewed recently, did you comply with their request to send every single page from your US (or other) passport, regardless of whether there's anything on it, or just send the info page? Thanks!
By the way,as others have said, the photo was so easy -- my OH took a shot on his phone, I uploaded it, and the site indicated it was accepted.
