Cheap Passport Photo's

    I was looking to get some passport photo's and found a very economic way of doing it.

    On snapfish.ie, you can get 8 passport photo's for €1.99 plus €2.95 for delivery. You also get 20 free 6x4" prints with your first order. If you go through fatcheese.ie, you will get an additional €3.50 cash back, also on your first order.

    So for a net cost of €1.44, you get 8 passport photos and 20 prints. Just received my passport photo's in the post and they are great quality.

    Not a bad deal, I usually just use http://www.epassportphoto.com/ though and print them out myself, the software puts 4 per sheet... So you can print on a public machine if u save to an sd card or whatever if you don't have a printer. I'm a little sceptical of fatcheese of late! I've had payments due in feb and march and they are still pending...

    +1 about fatcheese. After 3 unanswered tickets, at monthly intervals, I wrote to them by snailmail about 3 months ago - and still nothing. I've nearly €100 of cashback due to me and I can't get at any of it.

    But I digress. Snapshot are great, if only they didn't bombard you with quite so many emails. :(

    Just came across this thread which reminded me to send another ticket to Fatcheese. Still waiting on my claim from 7th November. That's just shy of 6 months!

    I would imagine that Fatcheese is a difficult business model to operate. They're giving all the affiliate revenue back to their customers, with the exception of ad space they sell. Given that such a website would have alot of queries on sales not tracked, monies overdue etc, it would be hard to fund a proper back of house staff.

    Good tip. When selecting 'Ireland' from 'Country' drop-down list a link is provided to download a PDF copy of official Department of Foreign Affairs 'Guidelines for Photographers on producing photographs suitable for Irish Passports'. Follow these and you can't go wrong.

    Edit: Links to Department of Foreign Affairs 'Passport Photo Guidelines' & 'Technical Advice for Photographers' (PDF downloads) can be found at: http://www.dfa.ie/home/index.aspx?id=257

    What photo size should I choose at the machine while printing that sheet? Thanks.

    Standard 6x4.

    I have been using epassportphoto.com for years now! And if you are annoyed with how they are only allowing just 4 photos and the other half is blank / ad - get yourself a simple free tool like Paint.NET (link), and copy and past the four photos into the other half - then you have 8 passport photos for the cost of printing one 6x4 (which is usually around 50c if you go to tesco etc). :D

    Was 19c in Harvey Norman's the other day...and they had a 2 for 1 offer too, so ended up being 8.5c per sheet of passport photos...
