🛒 Morrisons Passport Photo Services – What You Need to Know (and a Better Alternative)


If you're applying for a UK passport and wondering whether Morrisons is a good place to take your photo, you're not alone. Many UK shoppers consider getting passport photos during their weekly grocery run.

In this guide, we’ll explain Morrisons’ photo services, pricing, limitations, and how InstaPhotoID offers a better, faster, and 100% compliant solution from home.



📸 Can You Get Passport Photos at Morrisons?

✅ UK Passport Photo Guidelines (2025)

Regardless of where you get your photo taken, it must meet His Majesty’s Passport Office requirements:

  • 📏 Size: 35x45mm (print) or at least 600x750 pixels (digital)

  • 📅 Recency: Taken within the last month

  • 🧍♀️ Framing: Head size 29–34mm; show head, neck, and shoulders

  • 🔲 Background: Plain light grey or cream, no shadows

  • 😐 Expression: Neutral with closed mouth and open eyes

  • 👓 Accessories: Glasses, hats, or face coverings not allowed unless medically or religiously necessary

📌 Morrisons booths do not guarantee expert verification—so a non-compliant photo may delay your passport.


🤔 Limitations of Morrisons Photo Services

While Morrisons is convenient, its in-store photo booths come with limitations:

  • ❌ No expert compliance check

  • ❌ Not suitable for babies or infants
