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?

    With over 1,000 stores nationwide, it’s easy to find a Timpson and get a passport photo near you. However, not all branches have photo equipment, so it’s best to check which locations offer the service – using the official store finder.
     
    You won’t need an appointment, but it’s also recommended to call ahead to confirm the service is available and the branch is open.

  3. Do Timpsons do digital passport photos?

    Yes, Timpson provides digital passport photos. When you take your photo at Timpson, you’ll get a complete package: printed photos, a digital version, and, upon request, a passport photo code – a package worth its weight in gold.
     
    This package offers great flexibility:
     

    • Printed Photos: If you choose to submit your application by post, you’ll have the prints ready.
    • Digital Photo: Apply online from anywhere using the official online application page.
    • Passport Photo Code: Enter this code on the online application page, and the system will automatically upload your photo.

     
    The digital versions come as benefits alongside the printed photos — even if you don’t need prints, you’ll still need to pay for them.

  4. How much do Timpsons charge for passport photos?

    As of 2024, Timpsons charges £11-17 for 4 printed pictures with a digital code — the price may vary depending on the store.
     
    But here, you can get guaranteed passport photos for just £2.95. Here’s how it works:
     

    1. Upload any ordinary self-taken photo, regardless of its dimensions or background. Uploading your photo is free.
       
    2. We’ll crop it to the regulation size and remove its background, turning it into a valid passport photo.
       
    3. We’ll double-check the final image to meet His Majesty’s Passport Office requirements.
       
    4. Receive your passport photo: as an instant digital download for £2.95 – and/or as 8 prints for an extra £4, delivered via Royal Mail within 2-5 days (the delivery is free).

     
    Get Passport Photos for As Low As £2.95

  5. Does Timpson offer a photo guarantee?

    Yes, it does. When taking your image, the in-store employee will guide you through the process, such as reminding you not to smile in passport photo, keep your head straight, etc.
     
    Once it’s taken, they’ll check your new picture against the official passport photo guidelines issued by His Majesty’s Passport Office.

  6. How long do Timpson passport photos take?

    Ideally, a photo session in any of the retailer’s branches should take a couple of minutes. However, there may be a line during peak hours.

  7. What are Timpson's opening times?

    Most of Timpsons open at 9 AM and close at 6 PM (and operate fewer hours on Sundays). If you can’t make it in time, you can prepare a perfect passport photo on this page—anytime you need.

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

    For just £2.95, 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 £6.95, 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 2-5 business days via Royal Mail.
