In-Store Passport Photos at Tesco: F.A.Q.

1. Does Tesco have a photo booth?

   Yes, Tesco has photo booths in most locations, and some branches have in-store photo studios — you can use any of those for a quick and easy photo session.
    
   If there’s no Tesco nearby, you can use our service to get your photos in minutes. Simply take and upload a regular picture, and we’ll crop it to the right size and remove the background – the result will be a passport-ready photo. After our compliance check, you can get its digital or printed copies, all in a few minutes!

   If you need only in-store photos, check the nearest Tesco locations that provide this service in your area:
    

   1. Open the official store locator.
       
   2. In the first field, enter your town, city, or postcode.
       
   3. In the middle one, select the All outlets option in the drop-down box.
       
   4. In the last field, choose Passport Photo Booth or Passport Photos ID & Visa and click Find stores—you’ll see a list of the nearby stores where you can get passport photos, either via a photo booth or in an in-store studio.

2. How much are passport photos at Tesco?

   It’s £10 for 5 prints, a digital copy of your photo and a photo code – if you use an in-store photo booth.
    
   But with our online passport photo service, you get more at a lower price: 8 prints, a digital picture, a printable template and a code. All you need to do is upload a regular self-taken snapshot – give it a try now!

3. Are in-store pictures guaranteed?

   Yes, your passport photos will be checked against the official standards of HMPO, whether you take them in a photo booth or at a studio.
    
   If your passport photos are rejected anyway, Tesco will give you either a free retake or a refund (whichever you choose).
    
   Please note that the guarantee applies only to the pictures taken in-store. For example, if you edit your passport photo in Photoshop and print it at Tesco, you won’t get a satisfaction guarantee.
    
   The online service also offers an acceptance guarantee—on this page, you can get a 100% valid passport photo that HMPO will accept. We’ll remove your background and set the right size so that you get it right the first time. Compliance guaranteed!

4. How long does it take to use a photo booth?

   Similarly to our online service, it only takes a few minutes to get a passport photo from a booth.
    
   Still, it also takes time to get to the store. If you’re short on time, use this 24/7 online Tesco passport photo booth—you can get digital passport pictures or eight prints verified by a trained expert.

5. What are Tesco's opening hours?

   Tesco stores open at 6-7 am and close at 10-11 pm (a few work 24/7). Also, the hours are shorter on holidays.
    
   Don’t have enough time to visit Tesco’s photo booth or just need a picture faster? If this is the case, you can get your photo more quickly (right at home or at work) by using the online service—click ‘Upload Photo’ and get it now.

6. How exactly do I print your passport photo template at Tesco?

   You can print your template at an in-store iSnaps kiosk or through Tesco’s online printing service. Please note that you can print only a pre-prepared template – if you just resize your photo to the passport size, Tesco won’t be able to print it.

   Yes, you can get pictures for different visas, driving licences, transport and student cards, job IDs, and many other identity documents.

9. Can Tesco staff help me with my passport application?
