Guidance for taking acceptable ID photos (source: gov.uk)

Your photo must have been taken in the last month

Your application will be delayed if your photos do not meet the rules

The quality of your digital photo

Your photo must be:

• Clear and in focus
• In colour
• Unaltered by computer software

What your digital photo must show

The digital photo must:

• Contain no other objects or people
• Be taken against a plain light-coloured background
• Be in clear contrast to the background
• Not have ‘red eye’
  • What do red eyes in photos mean? A red reflex is produced when the flash of a camera lights up the blood-rich retina.

Make sure you include your head, shoulders and upper body. Do not crop your photo - it will be done for you.

In your photo you must:

• Be facing forwards and looking straight at the camera
• Have a plain expression and your mouth closed
• Have your eyes open and visible
• Not have hair in front of your eyes
• Not have a head covering (unless it’s for religious or medical reasons)
• Not have anything covering your face
• Not have any shadows on your face or behind you

Do not wear glasses in your photo unless you have to do so. If you must wear glasses, they cannot be sunglasses or tinted glasses, and you must make sure your eyes are not covered by the frames or any glare, reflection or shadow.

Photos of babies and children

• Children must be on their own in the picture. Babies must not be holding toys or using dummies.
• Children under 6 do not have to be looking directly at the camera or have a plain expression.
• Children under one do not have to have their eyes open. You can support their head with your hand, but your hand must not be visible in the photo.
• Children under one should lie on a plain light-coloured sheet. Take the photo from above.
