If your photo doesn’t pass, we show the one thing to fix, drawn on your photo, and the camera opens set up for it.
2. Second try
The same problem again: a change to the setup, such as a white sheet behind you, a helper or the timer, or a window’s light.

Questions
Will my photo be accepted?
The passport office decides. We check your photo against HM Passport Office’s published rule before you pay. If the office rejects it because of the photo, you get a full refund. Send us the rejection notice within 60 days of receiving it, and within 6 months of your order. Conditions
Do you edit my photo?
No. We level, resize and crop it, and nothing else.
HM Passport Office’s rule, in short: Photos must not be altered by software. Never add borders or bars.
So a wall that isn’t light gray or cream means a new photo. The camera helps you take it.
I don’t have a light gray or cream wall. What can I use?
HM Passport Office asks for a light gray or cream background. A plain light gray or cream door, or a sheet in that color pinned flat to a wall. Face a window so the light falls on your face, and stand about 2 ft in front of the wall so your shadow falls behind you.
How do I upload the file?
Save the file to your phone or computer and upload it where the UK online passport application asks for your photo. It is your checked photo, uncropped. The order also has print sheets, for an application that asks for prints.
What size is a UK passport photo?
The printed photo is 35 × 45 mm. Head height: 29–34 mm, chin to crown; hair inclusion is not specified. The background must be light gray or cream.
Is my photo private?
The check runs on your device. Your photo is uploaded only when you continue to checkout, and we delete your files 7 days after your order.
