Where to get a colour photocopy of my passport?

From the 2009 revision: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/advice/crown-copyright/copyright-guidance/reproduction-of-the-british-passport.htm
No mention of the 2003 'black and white only' rule:"The Identity and Passport Service advises passport holders to only agree to the reproduction of the personal details page in the passport if they are satisfied that the person or organisation they are giving this to will protect it from unauthorised disclosure.
You are within rights to ask how they are going to store the document, given the potential harm to you:"The Identity and Passport Service advises organisations who wish to retain a reproduction of the personal details in the passport that they should obtain the consent of the individual to do so. They also advise organisations to retain a record of the consent and to store the passport details securely."

It's actually illegal to make a colour photocopy of anyone's passport
Did anyone notice that it was a first time poster who posted this on a thread that is nearly 2 years old? No?0 -

Whoops, no, I didn't, thanks for pointing it out. I've been meaning to ask if it's possible to include the date of the first post alongside the OP's name in the list of threads so I can ignore ancient ones, maybe I should get round to doing that.0 -

yup.... but only because I saw I'd replied to the OP originally back in 2009
Other forums auto lock threads that are at least (say) 3 months old and have not been replied to in that time, alot to be said for a policy like that.0 -
