you can get it right first time.

closed (no smiling, frowning or raised eyebrows)
with their eyes open and clearly visible (no
sunglasses or tinted glasses and no hair across
the eyes)

frames must not cover eyes (we recommend
that, if possible, glasses are removed for the
photo)

unless they wear one for religious beliefs or
medical reasons

also applies to a photo of a baby or a young child
and babies should not have toys or a dummy in the
photo)

without anything covering the face nothing
should cover the outline of the eyes, nose or
mouth, and
not showing any red-eye.

background

printed by a booth or studio (photographs printed
at home are unlikely to be of high enough
quality)
be clear and in sharp focus
be taken within the last month
be in colour on plain white photographic paper
not be torn, creased, or marked, and
not have any writing on the front or back
except when one of the photos needs to be
certified.

Children
Children aged five and under do not need to have a
neutral expression or look directly at the camera.
Babies under one dont need to have their eyes
open. If the babys head needs to be supported, the
supporting hand must not be seen. All other
photograph standards must be met.

Tip: Place your photos in this guide to help


check they are the correct size before sending

Photo size must

be 45 millimetres high x 35 millimetres wide,


the standard size used in photo booths in the UK
(if you are outside the UK not all photo booths
use this standard size), and
not be trimmed or cut down from a larger
photograph to the size of a standard passport
photograph.
