We can photocopy passports, driving licences, residence cards and other identity documents in black & white or colour, on A4.

Important — a copy is not certification. Photocopying or copying an identity document does not certify, verify or validate it. Certification is a separate, official service. See Document Certification and Identity Services if you need a document certified.
We only copy ID documents that belong to you or that you are authorised to copy. We can't copy banknotes, or reproduce other people's identity documents or any material you don't have the right to copy.

⚖️ Legal, privacy & copying policies

Everything you'd expect from a professional copy service. Tap any section to read more.

🔒 Data protection & your documents (GDPR)

Documents you bring in to copy are used only to complete your requested copy job, and are handled in line with applicable UK data protection law and our Privacy Policy. We do not keep copies of your documents unless you ask us to, and they are accessed only by authorised staff.

🗂️ Confidential documents

We regularly copy sensitive documents such as bank statements, legal papers, medical forms and personal correspondence. These are handled carefully and used only to complete your copy.

✅ Your responsibilities

Please check your original is correct and complete before copying. We do not proofread documents; we copy exactly what you provide, in the quantity and options you request.

🎨 Copy quality

Copy quality depends on your original — its condition, contrast and any marks or folds. Faded, creased or low-contrast originals produce lower-quality copies. Colours on a copy may differ slightly from the original.

©️ Copyright & material we can't copy

You must have permission to reproduce copyrighted material such as books, magazines, music and commercial artwork. We cannot copy banknotes, currency, other people's identity documents, or any illegal, fraudulent, counterfeit, offensive or prohibited material, and we reserve the right to refuse.

🪪 ID documents are not certified

Copying an identity document does not mean certification, verification or validation — those are separate services. See Document Certification and Identity Services.

💳 Payment & refunds

Payment is taken at the counter — cash or card, or by secure PayPal link. A 50p minimum charge applies. Please check your copies before leaving; refunds apply only for a copying fault on our side, not for a change of mind or the wrong original being copied.

⏱️ Turnaround

Most copy jobs are done while you wait. For large or bulk jobs we'll advise how long it will take — call ahead and we can have it ready.

♿ Accessibility & environment

Our team is happy to assist customers who need extra support — just ask. To help the environment, please copy only what you need; double-sided copying reduces paper use and we recycle waste paper where practical.

🏢 Business & bulk orders

Businesses, schools and charities can request a quotation for larger or regular copy jobs. Some services (A3, enlarge/reduce and laminating) are planned but not yet available.

For full details, please see our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Terms & Conditions and Accessibility Statement in the website footer.
