To ask for help with passport photos

Local photo booth took my money and crashed - twice. Can I take photos against a magnolia wall with an iPhone 8 and have them printed off somewhere?
Thanks

If it is for a renewal, just upload the photo onto the website and apply online.

That's where it gets complicated - I've had a passport before but it was many years ago. I've been married and changed my name by deed poll since then

The other one is a first passport for my DD

Yes do it online. I sent mine in last week and got the passport today! It includes guidelines on how to take the photos and you can use a phone.

Do they not need to be signed then?

Ah just seen update. In that case, can't you go to a photo place which takes the photos for you rather than a booth?

As long as wall is plain and there are no shadows on your face or wall it’s ok. I’ve not mastered it on my phone with lighting yet

Or go to Max Speilman and have passport approved photographs taken.

You'd have to do your dd as paper application as it's the first and probably yours too. It on my accepts online renewals if you're "recognisable" from your last passport.

Yes you can. Look at the online application and it gives you guidance as to what is acceptable.

Mine was a standard renewal. I took a selfie and it came out fine

However you need a hard copy so maybe try a photo shop or some pharmacies take photos for this purpose.

Use the paspic website. You upload photos taken against a light background and they post back passport compliant photos within a couple of days

You can do a first passport online but need to print off a declaration for the countersignatory to sign. You also need 2 photos as one needs to be countersigned too

Go to snappy snaps.
