Passport photos

[TRISH]

Is there anywhere in GA or Santa Pola that does passport photos?

[Alicante Holiday Villas]

In Santa Pola there is an excellent photographer who does UK sized passport photos (not all Spanish photographers do them!)

Yes, in Santa Pola on the main street.
On the right as you go up the street from the castle.

Have to agree with previous comments
Always get ours done there

Thanks, went to Santa Pola this morning. All sorted

[TRISH]

The photos were not done correctly so were returned from passport office, so I need them done again ASAP. Went to Santa Pola this morning 10.45pm and photo shop is closed. Does anyone know if they close on Mondays? Or what time they open?

Purely out of interest what was "not correct" about them? One would have thought it fairly hard to fail?

Once again I would always recommend the shop in Santa Pola

The sheet that comes with the passport forms shows what is allowed with regards to the photos,

The size of your photos
Your photos must:

measure 45 millimetres (mm) high by 35mm wide (the standard size used in photo booths in the UK)

Your photos must be:

printed to a professional standard
taken within the last month
in colour on plain white photographic paper with no border
taken against a plain cream or light grey background

You can’t wear sunglasses or tinted glasses. You can wear reading glasses but your eyes must show fully through clear lenses without glare or reflections.

The size of your image

The image of you - from the crown of your head to your chin - must be between 29mm and 34mm high.

How your head should appear in passport photos - described in text above

Children under one don’t have to have their eyes open. If their head is supported by a hand, the hand mustn’t be visible in the photo.

Could not see full eyes on photo because of the angle the photographer took the photo.

I've used one on Main Street in El Altet, on the corner just past the Tabac and bank. He doesn't speak any English but mine were fine for my NIE certificate.

I saw a photo booth in the new bus station in Santa pola.I don't know if it's OK not used it.

I also used the one in Altet, no problem with one for NIE, he did ask whether I wanted it for the passport so assume he knows the difference. Only a few cents more that the photo booth.
