Frequently asked questions
Which size does a UK passport photo need?
≥ 600 × 750 px and 50 KB – 10 MB online. Do not crop the frame — the service crops it for you, so do not crop to 35 × 45 mm.
How recent must it be?
Taken within 1 month; an older photo is rejected even if every other rule fits.
Can I take it with my phone?
Yes, include your head, shoulders and upper body and do not crop — the service crops it.
Which background is needed?
Plain light-coloured, in clear contrast to your face, without objects or shadows.
