need passport photo for 4 week old

Options
Want to get photos done for my four week old for a passport application. Can anyone name any shops that take them rather than me trying the booths? :p

I wondered if Jessops do it?
I live in Basildon!

TIA

    Not sure if you have a digital camera but when we needed them for ds then we put a white sheet over his bed and laid him down and took the photo ourselves, we printed it off to the correct dimensions and the passport office excepted it with no problem, in fact we all did ours this way, well not lying down but standing with the white sheet behind us. Worked fine and is near enough free to do.

    I would think any photograph of any four week old baby would do.

    It would only be the mother that could tell the difference at that age.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    don't know your area but the chain photo processing stores do them here- klick or pronto

    it is difficult with a child that age because their eyes have to be open and the head has to be just the right size and position or they will reject it (and no hair standing up etc)...so it is good to get someone to do it with a digital camera so they can just keep taking them until you get a good one.

    I would bring in a copy of the regulations with you just to make sure it complys as it's no fun when they come back as rejected. shouldn't cost more than a fiver for 4.
