We will soon be taking Harry abroad and so he needs a passpsort, but taking his pic in a photo booth isn't going to be easy as you can't have any supporting body parts showing.
Has anyone had one done recently?
I've taken some close up pics of Hal and was wondering if I got them developed as passport size this would do.
As we are going quite soon I can't afford to get it wrong as runnng out of time.

Bob - check out this site (http://www.passport.gov.uk/general_photos_babies.asp) as it gives you lots of info and suggestions.

Bob - our local post office takes passport photos of babies and children and it is so easy because they use a proper camera and develop them the same as the booths do - with the passport sizes.

I got Cockney to adopt a horse/saddle stylee stance in the photobooth, placed the baby on his back and hoped for the best :w00t:

Thanks for the link ILS

We took one of him with a white background and I think we'll cut it down and let them cut it to size at teh pasport ofice as I think they always cut passport size photos anyway.
Buzz our local post office don't have anything, you can't even get passport forms there!
And they keep making a mess of re-directing my mail so I wouldn't trust them with my baby

There is a High St shop called PhotoKlick, or come to that any photographer. They will do it all in a couple of minutes and give you 4 photos for little more than the price of a booth. They know all the regs for any ID photo, so you get no errors and don't end up having to redo them.

I always use them for ID, Passport, Driving Licence etc. Normally you can just walk in ~ no appointment.

Photoklick are very good...failing that lay baby down and take picture and have it developed to passport size...this is what my friend did after having two, so called proffessional ones, refused! :huh:

So hard!
We took loads of pics of Hal sitting in his car seat with a white sheet behind him and then got them developed at Asda to pasport size.
Took them into the travel agents today (they do a check and send) and they rejected them all!
So we went to a photographer and these ones seem ok and the travel agents seemed to think so too. Just hope they reject them at the pasport office.
