Quick facts
| Provider | Max Spielmann (in Tesco) |
| Price | £6–£8 (prints + code) |
| Typical locations | Tesco Extra, most Superstores — not Express |
How the booth works
Choose UK Passport or UK Driving Licence, take test shots, pay, collect prints and receipt/email with your photo code.
Tesco Photo (print-only)
Supermarket photo printing is separate: upload a compliant file (e.g. from PixID) and order a 6×4 print for pennies — no booth, no code; you upload the JPEG yourself to the passport service.
Babies
Booths use a fixed stool — use Timpson, Snappy Snaps, or home guidance for infants.
UK passport JPEG — light grey, HMPO-style crop
