i am also in a wheelchair but a friend of mine has a printer that dose passport photos, he just took my photo on a normal camara but on a emory card and printed on photo paper, i think if you can take a selfie and have an asda or tesco with a photo shop you can get printed there

Good tip from xray25 :-)

Also, I went to Morrisons and found their photo booth out of order.

But they have an in-store photo facility operated by staff, so whether

you sit or stand shouldn't be a problem :-) xB

Whilst not wheelchair bound I used the Post Office automated on line booth which apparently is disability friendly.

had a look online and there is photographique and jessops in bristol both saying they do passport photos don't know if these are any good for you, we went to a little camera shop to get ours done so it might be worth ringing around to see who does them

As xray says take a selfie against a plain wall etc with no glasses hat etc this is probably the reason your photos were rejected not the quality

My husband took them on with a proper camera on photographic paper but not right size,nevermind thanks for response

The size is listed and it is a standard one they must have rejected them for some outher reason as well and the size was just the 1st thing on their list, anyway you know how scizers work don't you.

Murcia, I use a wheelchair too, if you have one in your town centre, go to TIMPSONS when do key cutting etc, my local branch is wheelchair friendly and staff are helpful, take about five minutes from entering shop and leaving.....it costs about £8 for photo for my Blue Badge. Good Luck. Xxx
