    Hi guys,

    I wonder would anyone know a good place to take passport photos in Carlow town? I mean one that someone has tried for the new machine-readable passports where the photos aren't rejected by the passport office?

    (I'm a bit silly and have left it a bit late to renew my passport...I'd like to make sure my photos are accepted first time!)

    Thanks very much in advance! :)

    No not necessarily. Lots of people have their photos rejected because they don't fit requirements (face too "smiley", glasses too far down nose, colour not right...)

    are you serious? I've never had an issue with my photos. The first time I got my passport the photos were taken in a booth and when I renewed it last time my sister took the photo and sized it down herself and i used that.

    Yes I am. I don't know if acceptance is hit or miss, or what. But I have heard quite a number of stories of photos being rejected, I'm not making it up! :)

    There is a new machine out for passport photos. The passport office are very strict but I have heard stories of them refusing photos before and suggesting you use the place next door instead. So ya, be careful.

    OP: Most chemists should have the facility.

    Go to Sam McCauley in Fairgreen or Carlow Shopping Centre and get them done there. Always good quality and they let you take a different one if you dont like it.
