Passport photo checklist
Tick each point against your photo. Photos that break a rule can delay your application. This page never uploads or stores a picture.
Where to get one. A booth or shop, before you apply: choose the option to get a code and enter it during the application. These photos are more likely to be approved. A photo taken on your own device during the application is less likely to be approved.
Printed photos
A paper application takes two identical printed photos, and the countersignatory certifies one of them. On the back they write “I certify that this is a true likeness of [title and full name of the person getting the passport]”, then sign and date it. You do not sign or date the photos. See countersignatories.
