Hi Dan
Thank you for your feedback.
The link to access your digital photo is printed on the bottom of your photos next to our contact information. Instruction on how to access the digital photo is provided on screen in the booth when the photo is taken. This information is also provided on the Gov.uk website when applying for a UK passport.
Kind Regards

No link to download your photograph and when you do eventually manage to find a random link it takes you to the irish portal.
Eventually figured out you have to go to gov.uk and APPLY for a passport and then only can you download the photograph.
Instructions are woeful!
An hour of my life wasted.

Took my money
Machine in Boots was happy to take my photo and my money - but then suddenly said it was unavailable and wouldn't print the photos. Machines are going to go down sometimes - but they should tell you straight away before taking your money.
And worse - call the number they offer to get a refund and it tells you to go to their appallingly-designed website where getting a refund is quite a stress. Starts to feel like they'd rather you just take the hit.

Waste of money
I used Photo Me for my passport but was rejected online several times. Contacting customer service is pointless as they will claim it works perfectly well. In my opinion, their pictures are woefully inadequate and a waste of time and money. DIY!

Dreadful
No way of speaking with a Customer Service representative. Chat function permanently closed even during so-called operating hours; Free phone is recorded, referring callers back to (useless) website Help function; Main office line unmanned. Would not recommend!

Hi Jay
Thank you for your feedback.
Unfortunately, between Saturday 1st and Monday 3rd of June the Gov.uk ID upload service experienced a fault.
When customers entered their code they received a message prompting them to take another photo. This was a Gov.uk issue and completely out of our hands.
Due to this, Me-Group was inundated by customers requesting a refund and as a result, we temporarily closed our webchat service on Monday 3rd June. Please accept our sincerest apology for any inconvenience caused.
I am pleased to confirm that as of June 4th the Gov.uk rectified this issue and codes are now working.
If you have any further queries, please contact us via email at callcentre@photo-me.com or you can reach us on our webchat service which is now available - https://help.megroup.uk/
Once again please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We would really appreciate the chance to put this right.

Great help with query!
Prompt response & great help from this company with my query about how to use the digital photo link for my driving licence renewal which, worked a treat! Can't fault them. The photo booth was easy to use too.

Hanger Lane photo booth theft
I used the Hanger Lane photo booth, it took 3 lots of payments, totalling £30, and no printed photos. It still insisted for me to make payments!! This is theft! £30 down, and no photos. Their telephone number is an answering machine that tells you to email them, then hangs up. Beware customers, better to go somewhere else.

I wasted £10 of my money!
I hadn’t used a Photo Booth in years and to be honest it was a job to find one locally that was working. I jumped in this one, selected passport and licence quality and not the fun picture option and boom….decent quality picture taken. It then turned out that you can’t download your picture to use for driving licences, only use the code directly in the .gov site for your passport. Binned the physical pictures in disgust and took a photo with my phone instead in the end. Horrendous!

Dear Customer
Thank you for your feedback.
Your digital photo is accessible on the gov.UK website as it is a digital UK passport. This information is provided on screen in the booth and on your photo printout.
You can access the digital image by going through the first couple of questions on the gov.uk website, and then entering your code. Once your digital image is on screen you can right-click the image and save it to your computer without submitting the passport or making payment.
This only takes a few seconds and the saved photo will be fit for any UK ID application.
If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team at https://help.megroup.uk/

No downloadable photo available
No downloadable passport photo available. It can only be submitted to the Passport Office via a code, you are not able to download separately.
While this is buried in their terms and conditions, I think it's wholly reasonable for customers to assume they would (and should) have access to their photo. Steer clear and use another service!
Update: They have responded with a solution, I will keep my rating as it is because they have done little to notify or guide the customer upfront about how to download and retain the image through the process. They could always send a copy to the customer's email address which would make far more sense and be more accessible. This needs to change.

Convenient and worked for online UK passport renewal
My passport was due for renewal and I used the Photo-Me booth in my local supermarket which was for convenience. I initially had problems with the ID code not being accepted but after a few attempts the code worked. In the meantime I had emailed the customer services and found that they responded very quickly although I had already managed to sort out imputing the code and gone ahead with the renewal application.
The photo was accepted and my new passport arrived this morning. So overall no problems.

Purchased code for Irish Passport which at first was not a valid code all evening using the dfa.ie website. I sent an email during the evening to Photo-Me who replied quickly next morning first thing offering to assist, but I had already successfully reattempted next day 8am on .dfa.ie and the code finally worked. Appreciated the fast response mind, Thanks

MISLEADING! AND UNHELPFUL!
MISLEADING! Photos are only suitable for a UK passport application. Customer service telephone number provides no service at all. It is just a recorded message telling you to use their ‘trouble-shooting’ service online. Needless to say the answer to my query was not on their website. Very poor service. Will not use again. I DoO NOT RECOMMEND.

Hi Elizabeth
Thank you for your feedback,
We want all our customers to have the best experience with our products so I am sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience.
Our booths do clearly state that we offer a digital UK passport photo and that your digital image is accessed using your unique code on the gov.uk website when applying for your UK passport.
You have to select OK AGREE on the touch screen to these terms in order to take the photo and make payment.
You can still access the digital image on the gov.uk website and save it to your computer or mobile device to use for other purposes. The image file is the correct size to use for a UK driver's license or any other form of ID that accepts UK passport-size photos.
If you need any further assistance with your digital ID photo, please get in contact with our customer service team at https://help.megroup.uk/

Awful service including customer service. Details on the Photo Booth imply that the images are available online as soon as you receive the printed copy. The reality is you have to wait 72hrs! Total rip off. I should’ve gone somewhere else and paid extra money. Would not recommend or use again!
