just a thought  can you give  your local camera shop a ring and see if they  would do it for you  ,

Worth thinking about, thanks. :)

I might also have a go with what Gadget (thanks Gadget :)) said as we have nothing much around here living in a rural area. There is not much to offer without travelling a distance which grieves me a little for the sake of a few photos. Different when I am looking for ancestors mind. ;D

Thank you all again for your suggestions I feel as though I have more options now.

I've taken them with a digital camera too... even with my limited experise behind a camera, they turned out better than a booth photo.  ;D

Just remember to abide by the rules of background, smiling etc.  My old photo printing software has templates for passport photos so it was a doddle to print
Please acknowledge when a restorer works on your photos, it can take hours for them to work their magic

Please scan at 300dpi minimum to help save the restorers eyesight.

A lot of chemists in Oz take passport photos as well as many Kodak or other processing outlets, so I wonder if places like Boots would or at the very least there must be Kodak shops in major centres.   The criteria is very strict for passport photos so taking them yourself would be risky as it would delay your application if they get rejected.

Your supposed to look like a crim in your passport anyway, so the customs official can stare at you and make you squirm and feel guilty even though you're perfectly innocent, it's how they get their kicks!  ;D ;D  Sorry...it's late and I'm just adding my useless two cents worth to pass a bit of time of day because it's nearly time to go home.  ;D
