Timpson Passport Photo: Common Questions

  1. Do Timpsons do passport photos?

    Yes, most Timpson locations across the UK take professional passport photos and pictures for other official documents – driving licences, international passports and visas, proof-of-age cards, public transport passes, and more.

    A trained Timpson employee will take your photo, ensure it meets all requirements, and print it on the spot.

  2. Which branches provide this service?

    Timpson has over 1,000 stores across the UK where you can get passport photos taken quickly and professionally. Not every location has photo equipment, so it’s best to use the official Timpson store finder to check in advance.

    Most Timpson stores don’t require an appointment, but it’s recommended to call your local branch to confirm the service is available and the store is open – and if it isn’t, find another option to take a passport photo near you.

  3. Do Timpsons do digital passport photos?

    Yes, Timpson offers a complete digital passport photo package. When you take your photo in-store, you’ll get prints, a digital image, and a photo code — a package worth its weight in gold.

    This gives you flexibility depending on how you plan to apply:

    • Printed Photos: Ideal for postal applications — ready to send with your documents.
    • Digital Photo: Use it for online passport renewal via the official GOV.UK portal.
    • Passport Photo Code: Uploads your photo directly into the online form — no need to attach files.

    Even if you don’t need prints, you still pay for the full service — but the digital photo and code are valuable benefits included at no extra charge.

  4. How much do Timpsons charge for passport photos?

    In-store at Timpson, passport photos cost £12.99 for four printed images with a digital code. Alternatively, you can get the same result here online — with guaranteed compliance — for just £6.95.

    Here’s how to get your passport photo for £6.95 using our online tool:

    Get passport photos for £6.95 — digital and printed, approved for HMPO, ready in minutes.

  5. Does Timpson offer a photo guarantee?

    Yes — Timpson provides a passport photo guarantee. During the photo session, the in-store employee will guide you step-by-step, reminding you not to smile in passport photo and to keep your head straight. Once your photo is taken, they’ll check it against the official guidelines from His Majesty’s Passport Office to ensure it meets all compliance standards.

  6. How long do Timpson passport photos take?

    At most Timpson stores, the photo session itself takes just a couple of minutes. However, if you visit during peak hours, you may have to wait in line before it’s your turn.

  7. What are Timpson's opening times?

    Most Timpson stores are open from 9 AM to 6 PM, with reduced hours on Sundays. If you can’t visit during those times, you can create your passport photo on this page — it’s available 24/7.

  8. What do I get if I choose the online service over in-store Timpson photos?

    Our online option gives you a complete, HMPO-compliant photo package — starting at just £6.95, compared to £12.99 in-store at Timpson.

    For just £6.95, you’ll receive:

    • Digital Passport Photos: A high-resolution JPEG with the correct 35×45 ratio and a passport photo code for online applications via the HMPO website.
    • Self-Print Template: A print-ready image with four passport photo copies, which you can easily print at any Timpson or other location – without any preparations.
    • Quality and Compliance Check: We’ll ensure your photo meets UK passport requirements, including proper size, lighting, and background, so it’s accepted on the first try.

    For £9.95, you can get all of the above plus:

    • Prints with Free Shipping: Eight high-quality passport photos on premium paper, delivered to your door in 2 business days via Royal Mail.
