Asda Passport Photo Online for £2.95

Asda Passport Photo Booth F.A.Q.

1. Does Asda have a passport photo booth?

   Yes, most Asda stores have special booths where you can take a digital UK passport photo and then print it right away or send it to your email. To make sure the store you’ve picked does have a kiosk, we recommend you call the store or check it online. Please note that Asda photo printing services are also available at their counters.
   
    
   As for the opening times, you can use Asda photo booths to take and print UK passport photo whenever the store itself is open. Many of the chain’s locations have different opening times, so please check the official website to find out the opening hours of the nearest store.

2. How much is a photo booth in Asda?

   If you don’t have a prepared headshot with you, you can use a local Asda photo booth to take one and print it, which will cost you about £12 (with no money-back guarantee).
    
   That’s relatively cheap, but if you’re looking to save time and money, you don’t have to pay even that. As an option, you can use PhotoBooth Online to prepare a digital passport photo, bring this template to an Asda store and print it out for the lower price of 55p only. After that, you can attach the printout to the application form.

3. Do Asda do digital UK passport photos?

   Yes, they do – when using a photo booth, you can enter your email to receive a digital copy of your picture. However, you can’t purchase the digital photo alone – it’s included with the printed passport photos, so the full price of £12.99 still applies.
    
   If you only need a digital photo, consider the online service, where you can get it for £2.95.

4. How exactly does an Asda photo booth work?

   Enter the booth, tap the screen, and select passport photos. Follow the instructions, and the booth will take your picture. Review the photo, make the payment, and receive your photos.

5. What exactly will I get and how much is it?

   If you get your pictures using an in-store booth, you’ll receive 4 high-quality prints, a photo code, and a digital copy of your passport photo to your email (upon request) – for £12.99. To get pictures for £2.95, use the online service.

6. Where do I find a booth?

   Asda uses Max Spielmann photo machines. To find one, use the official Max Spielmann locator: enter your town or postcode, select ‘Passport photo booth,’ and hit ‘Find stores’ to see a map of nearby options.

7. What are their opening times?

   All Max Spielmann booths operate from 9 to 18, even in 24/7 Asda stores. If this schedule doesn’t work for you, consider using the above online tool which is available 24/7.

8. Do Asda booths give a code?

   Yes, Asda photo booths provide a digital code along with printed photos – you can find it on the printout itself. This code can be used for your online passport application on the HMPO website.

9. Are in-store pictures guaranteed?

   In a photo booth, you have to check your picture yourself – there’s no guarantee of acceptance, though you can request a refund if it’s rejected. For reliable verification, use the online service, where the check is done for you.

10. Can I print a pre-prepared photo at Asda?

    Yes, their website has a special page where you can load your JPEG file and have it printed. You can collect it yourself or use the printouts shipping service and have the printout delivered straight to your address. The latter will cost you £2.5 per photograph. Please note this online passport photo app is somewhat limited (for example, it can’t remove the background or check your picture).

    In case you need a compliant headshot urgently (say, before a flight), PhotoBooth Online is one of the easiest ways to get it without paying twice the price. You don’t have to waste time looking for a photography machine or professional photographer. All you have to do is to find a few seconds and take a picture with your phone camera. Then you only need to visit a local store where you can have the passport photo template printed or use its digital version for online submission. At the end of the day, you save both time and money.
     
    What’s more, our passport photo service doesn’t have any limit to the number of photographs you can have processed. Plus, you have the time to do it without any rush—if you want, take dozens of pictures and then just pick the best one to convert it into the verified digital or printed format.

12. If I use the online service, what photo do I upload?

    Simply take a regular photo with your phone camera. The size and background don’t matter (we’ll edit them for you), but be sure to:
     

    • Keep your head and shoulders straight and fully visible
    • Look directly at the camera
    • Maintain a neutral facial expression
    • Avoid shadows on your face or neck

13. Will HMPO accept a passport picture made in PhotoBooth Online?

    Yes, our home professional service is programmed to verify all the parameters like size, quality, lighting, head proportions, background, etc. This way we ensure you meet the requirements for UK passport photos. Besides, we keep track of every change in these specifications and follow official guidelines when tuning our algorithms, allowing you to make a biometric photo conveniently and without any hassle.
     
    However, we won’t edit your clothes: so, if you’re unsure what to wear in your United Kingdom passport photo, try taking pictures in different outfits! Here, you can process as many photos as you like before checkout: we have no uploading limits.

14. How do I take a UK passport photo at home to print at Asda?

    If you want to do it without the help of our service, you’ll need to take a snapshot that meets all the rules.
     
    Follow these steps:
     

    1. Get Your Clothes Sorted Out: be sure to put on something casual and neutral that covers your shoulders. If you’re wearing any headgear, take it off, as your head should be fully visible (and your hair shouldn’t cover your face). The only exception is religious headwear. If you use glasses for medical reasons, you can leave them on (when used for styling purposes, sunglasses and transparent glasses aren’t allowed).
        
    2. Ensure Proper Lighting: If the sun isn’t shining too bright, use natural sunlight. If it’s dark outside, use an artificial source of light. However, you need to make sure the lighting is even and your facial features aren’t obscured by shadows.
        
    3. Arrange a Suitable Backdrop: find a room with a wall of plain colour (grey or off-white will do perfectly). Stand with your back against the wall, maintaining an upright and straight pose.
        
    4. Take Your Snapshot: Use the 35×45 aspect ratio. Keep a neutral facial expression—don’t smile, keep your mouth closed and look straight at the camera (after all, it’s not your usual selfie). If your picture turns out bad, don’t edit—just retake it.

     
    That’s it! If you follow every step thoroughly, the resulting image should be good to go—you can print it at an Asda location.
