Send us your own photo and we will edit it to meet United Kingdom's official passport and visa photo requirements, then send you a print-ready digital file — with printed photos too, if you choose.
United Kingdom requirements
-
Photo size:
35 × 45 mm - Background: plain cream or light grey — pure white is NOT accepted
- Head height (chin to crown): 29–34 mm
The UK is one of the few countries that rejects a pure white background; cream, ivory or light grey is required. Head height must be 29–34 mm from crown to chin — shorter than most other countries, so a photo cropped to another country's spec will usually fail here.
Official requirements: HM Passport Office
Photo tips for the best result
- Neutral expression, mouth closed, both eyes open and clearly visible
- Face the camera squarely — no tilting or turning
- Even lighting on the face, with no shadow falling on the background
- Stand about half a metre in front of a plain wall, with the camera around 1.5 m away
- Ask someone else to take it using the rear camera — arm's-length selfies distort the face
- Send the original file, uncropped and unfiltered
We size, position and adjust the background so the photo meets the specification. We do not retouch faces — several authorities, including ICA Singapore, reject photos whose features have been altered.
Soft copy — edited and emailed back within 1 working day, ready for online applications.
Printed photos — collect from our Chinatown shop, or add delivery at checkout.
If a photo cannot be made compliant we will tell you what to fix and you can send another at no extra charge.

Walk in any time during opening hours — no appointment needed. We photograph you, edit to specification and print on the spot, usually in about 20 minutes.
In-store photography is a walk-in service and is not ordered online. Ordering here is for customers who would rather send their own photo, or who cannot come down to the shop.
