Thanks for the good suggestions. They'd probably work in your area but, although I live in the largest city in Ks, it looks as though I'm going to have to plod from shop to shop until I find someone who can use the contraption.
Wichita? Well, someone has to live here. Take photo, stick it on epassportphoto.com to arrange the pic and then go print it where ever you go to print things such as Target, Walmart etc. Much cheaper too. |

Agreed , I have used this for all my family's passport photos over the past few years.
My passport is about due to be replaced and I am not looking forward to getting a crappy no smile etc photo in it. I quite like my current smiley one! I might go to a photographers to see if they can make it look slightly better....... |
Re: Uk passport renewal times in the USA
Finally managed to get photos and sent everything off, registered post, on 24th September. Alas, all my documents have been lying somewhere in London for over a week. Any idea how long it takes to clear UK customs or border force or whoever? That's probably the same as asking, "how long is a piece of string."

Re: Uk passport renewal times in the USA
Are you sure your package is still in London? I was told that the tracking for the US Postal system would only work until the first point of entry into the UK for Durham and not all the way to the signature at the offices.
Have you checked your status with the passport office to see if the stuff has arrived there? |
Re: Uk passport renewal times in the USA
Yes, that was my understanding too, but I have since been told by a USPS person that it works all the way to Durham. There is an example on a site called royalmailchat where I discovered it is quite common to have delays of up to a month or more. Alas, I can find no way of sending an e-mail to the customs.
I check the passport office on a daily basis only to be told they are waiting to hear from me. |

Re: Uk passport renewal times in the USA
USPS say it has been delivered. Just waiting for Passport to acknowledge delivery.
