Frequent Questions

1. Do Boots do passport photos?

   Yes, many Boots stores have photo booths that do passport photos – you can receive 5 printed pictures and a digital photo code. If you need to get your pictures in-store, use the store locator below to find a suitable location near you.
    
   If there isn’t a passport photo booth near you, get your photos online! Just snap a regular picture with your phone and upload it here – we’ll crop it to the regulation size and remove its background, thus transforming it into a UK passport photo. Then, we’ll double-check the resulting picture against the rules, and you’ll be able to get its digital or printed copies – with an acceptance guarantee!

2. Do Boots do digital passport photos?

   Yes, Boots includes a digital photo in their package – as a photo code. If you use a Photo-Me booth at Boots, you’ll receive 4 printed copies of your UK passport photo – plus a unique photo code. This code contains a digital copy of your passport photo, which you can use to apply for your passport online.
    
   Please note: at Boots, even if you only need a digital photo, you’ll still have to pay £10 for prints (similarly to post office passport photos). So why not save money with our service? For a lower price, you’ll get a digital photo without paying extra for prints you don’t need. Simply upload a regular self-taken snapshot, and we’ll turn it into a guaranteed picture for your UK passport.

As an extra option, you’ll also get 8 prints with free Royal Mail delivery – and it’ll still be cheaper than the in-store service.

5. How long does Boots photo take?

   The process of taking a photo in a Boots photo booth is quick and typically takes just a few minutes – after capturing your image, the booth checks it against HM Passport Office rules and shows you a preview.
    
   Please note that while the booth provides verification, it does not guarantee acceptance of your photo. For instance, it may not detect issues like excessive makeup in your passport photo. Therefore, it’s essential to use your judgment as well and take a minute to check your photo yourself.
    
   Once you confirm, the booth prints your photo out instantly.

6. What to choose: online or in-store Boots passport photos?

   Service Availability

   Only a while ago, Boots passport photo booths were shut down for safety reasons—and many are still unavailable today. However, you can still get your passport photo online anytime you need it.

   In-Store Printing

   You can’t just print a 35×45 digital picture at Boots, since the online app and kiosks allow you to print 6×4″ templates only. Use this professional service to make a passport photo template of this exact size.

   UK Rules Compliance

   In Boots, you print without checking. Prepare your portrait in the online service – whether you’re renewing your passport or preparing for a passport interview, it’ll ensure your photo meets all UK standards.

   When Do Shops Open?

   With most stores, the opening and closing hours range between 9 AM and 6 PM (but may vary slightly; plus, every Sunday is a day off). If you need Boots passport photos urgently, use this page—it will work 24/7.

   Time Efficiency

   Although CEWE photostations used in Boots print photos quickly, you’ll still need some time to get to them. In case you’re short on time, use this service to get a digital passport photo online and apply from home.

   Photo Quality

   With Boots photostations, the quality of printing may vary. However, if you prepare your digital passport photos here, you won’t have to print them exactly in Boots—you can choose any place you like.

   Level of Privacy

   Boots never share your photos or personal data with anyone. The same goes for the online option—neither your original shot nor the ready-made UK passport photo will ever be shared with anyone.
