The official requirements
Before you buy
Photo size
35 × 45 mm
45 mm high by 35 mm wide, with your head between 29 mm and 34 mm from chin to crown.
Background
Plain, light background
A plain, light background with no shadows behind you and nothing else in the frame.
Face position
Straight on, neutral expression
Face the camera directly with a neutral expression and your mouth closed. Both eyes must be open and visible, with no hair across them.
Lighting
Even, no shadows
Even lighting with no shadows on your face or behind you, and no red-eye. Glasses are discouraged; if you wear them they must not be tinted and the frames must not obscure your eyes.
Photo age
Within 1 month
The photo must have been taken in the last month. This is far shorter than the six months most countries allow, and it is the most common reason a British application is returned.
Resolution & format
Colour · 300 dpi
A colour photo, sharp and in focus, not edited in software. Headwear is only accepted for religious or medical reasons. In Northern Ireland the photo may need to be certified on the back if you do not submit a UK or EEA passport as identification.
Colour
Colour only
Glasses
Allowed, though going without is advised. They must not be tinted, and your eyes must stay clear of frames, glare and shadow.
Headwear
Religious or medical reasons only
