    hi,

    we went to lloyds pharmacy I think. anyway, they take photos for adults sitting on chairs but they took the photo of my baby lying on a white sheet. the photos come up the same as if you got them done in a booth so the right size etc.
    my friend's baby could sit up when they wanted a passport and she held him on the edge of her knee and the shop took the photo that way.
    another friend got hers done by asking at the photo desk in sainsburys.

    Ididnt even think of taking them myself, but then Im no good at photos and they would haveprobably been rejected!

    the person who signs it needs to be the kind of person on the list and also known you for two years.

    Many thanks for all the baby photo tips. :)

    As for certifying the photo - I see whichever GP has the first available appointment, I don't have a dentist, I don't have any local friends who fit the criteria... I suppose I'll have to contact the passport office for further clarification. It depends on what "knowing me" really means. It's dreadfully annoying that all family (including by marriage) are excluded. I mean, yes, I've been here long enough for my local branch of my optician's to have been my local for 2+ years but it's not like the optician knows me - I see him once a year.
