What type of passport photo do I need? Hope does it meet the credentials?
UK Passport applicants must send off two identical photos if filling out a paper application
Printed or digital photos are required if applying online.
Applicants always need to get a new photo when they get a new passport, even if their appearance has not changed.
The image must have been taken in the past month.
Can I smile in a passport photo?
The guidelines state you must have a “plain expression” and “your mouth closed,” which pretty much cancels out all smiling.
Applicants must also be facing forward and looking directly at the camera.
They also need to have their eyes open and clearly visible.
There must also be no shadowing in the background of the shot.
