Our in store promise
Taken, checked and printed by us
We only print passport and ID photographs that our own team has taken. That means we can check the lighting, focus, background, expression and crop before anything is printed.
Camera Centre UK reports a 99.99% pass rate. If an authority rejects your photograph because of the photograph itself, bring the rejection back and we will retake it free of charge.

How to prepare for your photo
You do not need to practise a pose. Our photographer will guide you and our editor will make the final checks.
Eyes and expression
Keep your eyes open and visible. Most applications require a neutral expression and a closed mouth.
Glasses
Remove tinted glasses. We may ask you to remove clear glasses if they cause glare or cover your eyes.
Clothing and hair
Choose clothing that stands apart from a light background, and keep hair away from your eyes.
Head coverings
Religious and medical head coverings are generally allowed, but your facial features must remain visible.
