Photo guidance
Small details make a big difference.
A good source photograph matters more than aggressive editing. If the image is unsuitable, the safer route is to retake it.
Use even lightingAvoid harsh shadows, glare and red-eye.
Keep the background plainUse a suitable light background.
Face the cameraKeep your full face clearly visible.
Do not beautifyNo beauty filters, facial retouching or identity changes.

Quick answers.
What is the difference between a digital image and a photo code?
A digital image is the photograph file. A photo code is a separate retrieval method used during an online passport application.
Can I take my passport photo with my phone?
Yes. Follow current UK photo guidance, use suitable lighting and background, and avoid altering the image.
Do you guarantee HM Passport Office acceptance?
No. We can provide guidance and the selected product, but HM Passport Office makes the final acceptance decision.
Where can I check the official rules?
Use our requirements guide and the current GOV.UK passport-photo guidance before you submit.
