Important Guideline for UK Passport Photos

Photos should show a close-up of your full head and shoulders. It must be only of you with no other objects or people.

The image of your head – from crown of your head to your chin – must be sized between 29 millimeters and 34 millimeters.

Your UK passport photo may be rejected unless it shows you:

• facing forward and looking straight at the camera.
• with a neutral expression and your mouth closed.
• without anything covering the face.
• in clear contrast to the background.
• without a head covering (unless it’s worn for religious or medical reasons).
• with eyes open, visible and free from reflection or glare from glasses.
• without any shadows in the picture.
