For a UK passport online you can take the photo yourself: GOV.UK accepts a digital photo you or someone else takes, as long as it meets the rules (GOV.UK: Get a passport photo). For a paper form you need two printed photos (GOV.UK: Rules for printed photos). See Passport photo code UK: do you need one?

Questions

Does Max Spielmann do passport photos?
Yes, in its shops and its booths. A UK passport photo in a Max Spielmann shop costs £12.99, with 4 prints, a digital code and a staff check against HM Passport Office rules; passport photos for other countries cost £14.99. Its self-service booths cost £10 for 4 prints and a digital code, with no staff check (Max Spielmann: In-store passport photos). The booths are in Tesco, Asda and other places, and the shops are on high streets and inside some Tesco and Asda stores (Max Spielmann: Passport photo booths, Max Spielmann: Baby passport photos).
Does Max Spielmann do baby passport photos?
Yes, in its shops, for £12.99 with 4 prints and a digital code. Its booths aren't suitable for children under 4, so take a baby or toddler to a shop, where staff help.
What if HM Passport Office rejects a Max Spielmann photo?
Max Spielmann says it retakes a rejected baby passport photo free of charge, and lists free retakes with its in-store UK passport photos. Its online prints have no check.
What is Max Spielmann's Apply & Go?
An extra service in its shops, not its booths: after taking the photo, staff complete your online passport application for an extra charge, which its page doesn't state.
Can I take my own UK passport photo instead of going to Max Spielmann?
Yes, for an online application. GOV.UK lets you take a digital photo yourself or ask someone to take it, as long as it follows the photo rules. For a paper form you need printed photos, and GOV.UK says photos printed at home are unlikely to be good enough, so print at a photo kiosk or shop.
What is a digital photo code?
A code that a booth or shop gives you with your photos. You type it into the GOV.UK online application and your photo is added to it. If you take the photo on your own device during the application instead, you don't need a code.
