There is absolutely no need to use anybody to do this for you - all it will do is cost you more money and no difference in time . . . . see my thread of how I renewed my passport

A friend of mine has just renewed his the same way and it took 13 days to be returned - yes, it is that simple.

:morning

:agree

Never used Gwenny for anything - the story that things get done quicker is...........well just a story. If you have money to burn then why not. :roll:

Thank you Jean.

I was looking to do it through an agent just to make sure i had done everything correctly as i know many people who've had theirs returned, mainly due to the photographs.

But fingers crossed all goes well.
Thanks again.

I had my photos done at Evzonas next to the Fruit Market on Butcher Boy road - but if you tell any of the photographers they are required for a UK passport, they all know what to do. In fact I don't think one of the agents would be able to tell if photos were suitable or not . . . . it's all to do with the eyes as eye recognition is used nowadays . . . . . allegedly :greetings

There's a guy on Tombs of the Kings Road, next but one to Green Corners and across from the bakery. He has a photographic studio/shop - Marios Michaelides. He's a lovely bloke and knows just what to do. I know it's not Peyia, but....

Agree with Lesley - Marios actually took the best passport photos I have ever had - you also get so many that we had sufficient left when we needed photographs to join the Bowls Club and also for Immigration and I think we still have one left!

Very good value!

He took my passport photo, he knew exactly what was required, eg, the background
