   Does Tesco do passport photos?

   Yes – Tesco offers UK passport photos at selected stores. You can get a compliant passport picture at a self-service photo booth, at a staffed Max Spielmann photo shop, or by printing a correctly formatted template at an in-store kiosk or via Tesco Photo online.

   Tesco passport photos are checked against HM Passport Office (HMPO) standards when taken at an official booth or studio. You can also use the same booths and shops for other ID photos – including visas, driving licences, student cards, and railcards – though availability varies by branch.

   Important: Not every Tesco store offers passport photos. Smaller convenience branches and many Metro-format stores may not offer this service. Always check the Tesco Photo store locator (see below) before travelling.

   Does Tesco have a photo booth?

   Yes – there is a photo booth in many larger Tesco stores across the UK. These are typically Max Spielmann self-service passport photo booths where you take your picture, receive 4 printed passport photos on the spot, and get a digital copy plus a photo code for online passport applications.

   However, not all branches have them. To avoid a wasted trip, use the official Tesco store finder (see below) and look for locations marked with BOOTH.

   At Tesco you may also see:

   • BOOTH: Self-service passport photo booth (take photo + prints + digital code)
   • SHOP: Full Max Spielmann photo studio with staff assistance and additional services
   • KIOSK: Self-service printing only (for photos you already have on USB or phone – not a passport booth)

   Photos taken at a Tesco booth or shop are checked for compliance. If your photo is rejected by HMPO, Tesco will offer a refund if you contact support (if you used a booth) or a free retake (if you visited a shop) – but this guarantee applies only to photos taken at Tesco, not to photos you prepare elsewhere and print in-store (unless you prepare a template with PhotoBooth Online – if you do, we’ll offer our own acceptance guarantee).

   Does Tesco Extra have a photo booth?

   Tesco Extra stores are among the most likely to have a photo booth, but this is not guaranteed at every Extra. Opening hours and equipment vary – confirm on the locator below before you visit.

   Important: If your nearest Tesco doesn’t have a photo booth or you’d rather not pay £10+, you can create an HMPO-compliant passport photo from home from £2.95 – right on this page.

   How to find a Tesco passport photo booth near me

   Not every Tesco store has a passport photo booth. To see which branches near you offer one, use the official store locator:

   1

   Visit the Tesco Photo store locator

   Open maxphoto.co.uk/photo-store-locator (the store finder at the Tesco website is currently unavailable but this one works the same way).

   2

   Enter your location

   Type your town, city or postcode into the search field, or click Use my location.

   3

   Click “Find stores”

   The page shows a list of nearby Tesco branches on the left and a map on the right.

   4

   Look for the BOOTH tag

   In the results list, find stores marked BOOTH – these have a passport photo booth. SHOP refers to a staffed Max Spielmann studio; locations marked KIOSK are for photo printing only.

   

   How much do Tesco passport photos cost?

   Tesco passport photo pricing depends on how you get your picture. In 2026, the main options are:

   • In-store photo booth: it’s £10.00 for a set of 4 printed passport photos, plus a digital copy and a photo code for online UK passport applications. You can take up to 10 shots during one session and pick the best result.
   • In-store photo shop: it’s £12.99 for 4 printed passport photos and a photo code (the digital copy is sent to your email upon request). Same as in a booth, you can take up to 10 pictures.
   • 6×4″ print only (template): it’s £0.75 if you print using an in-store kiosk (or order prints online with collection in 20 minutes) – or £0.65 if you print online and order in-store collection in 5 days.
   • Home delivery (for print orders only): an additional £1.99 on top of the print price for standard delivery within 3 working days – or £7.99 for next-day delivery.

   Service	Price	What You Get
   Photo booth	£10.00	4 prints, photo code, digital copy
   Photo shop	£12.99	4 prints, photo code, digital copy upon request
   6×4″ template print	£0.65 or £0.75	Printed template (you supply the file)
   Print + home delivery	£0.65 + £1.99 to £7.99	Prints delivered to your address

   Can you get a digital passport photo at Tesco?

   Yes. When you use a Tesco photo booth, your session includes a digital passport photo and a photo code you can enter when applying for a UK passport online at gov.uk.

   The digital file is sent to your email address at the booth. The photo code is printed on your printout and links directly to your compliant image in the online application form – you do not need to upload the file separately if you use the code.

   There is no separate “digital-only booth” at Tesco. The digital photo is bundled with the in-store booth session.

   At Tesco locations with a staffed Max Spielmann shop, you also get a photo code for gov.uk as part of the service. As for the digital copy, you need to ask staff to email it to you; unlike the self-service booth, it is not sent automatically during the session.

   Tesco photo booth opening times

   Tesco photo booths are available whenever the store is open – there are no separate booth hours.

   Most Tesco stores open between 6:00 and 7:00 AM and close around 10:00 or 11:00 PM. Some larger branches – including certain Tesco Extra stores – operate 24 hours. Hours vary at weekends and on bank holidays.

   Check your local branch’s opening times on the Tesco Photo store locator (see above) before you travel.

   How to print passport photos at Tesco

   If you already have a print-ready 6×4″ passport photo template – you can print it at Tesco without using the photo booth. This is often the cheapest option at as low as £0.65 per 6×4″ print.

   Tip: You can create a compliant, print-ready 6×4″ template from a phone photo using PhotoBooth Online – then print it at Tesco for as low as £0.65 instead of paying for a full booth session.

   Option A – Print at an in-store kiosk

   1

   Find a kiosk

   Use the store locator above and look for locations marked KIOSK.

   2

   Insert your media

   At the kiosk, tap the screen → choose Other media → USB stick (or connect your phone).

   3

   Select and print

   Choose 6×4″ size, confirm quantity and price, then pay by card – the kiosk will print your template instantly.

   Option B – Order online (Click & Collect or delivery)

   1

   Go to the Official Print Page

   Open maxphoto.co.uk/photo-printing/6×4-photo-prints.

   2

   Upload your template

   Select 6″ × 4″ Print and upload your saved template.

   3

   Choose a delivery method

   Select Click & Collect (ready in ~20 minutes or 5 days, depending on your choice) or Home Delivery (within 1 or 3 working days, depending on your choice).

   4

   Pay for your order

   Pay by card, Google Pay or PayPal and collect or wait for delivery.

   Note: Tesco prints passport photos correctly only when you supply a formatted 6×4″ template with multiple copies on one sheet. If you simply resize a single photo to passport dimensions, it will not print properly and may be rejected. You can get a correctly sized and verified template using PhotoBooth Online.

   Does Tesco offer a passport application service?

   Yes – at selected stores. Some Tesco branches with a full Max Spielmann SHOP offer an Apply & Go service for UK passport applications only.

   During your visit, a staff member can help you complete the entire application while you wait – including taking your passport photo and submitting your documents online through the official HMPO system.

   You will usually need valid ID to use this service. In many cases, you can use an expired passport as ID.

   Apply & Go is not available at every Tesco. To check, use the store locator above and look for a location offering Apply & Go or a SHOP designation.

   This guide explains how passport photos work at Tesco – including in-store booths, staffed shops, prices, opening times, printing, and digital options.
