Official document photos in 英国

British passport, driving licence and visa photos are 35 × 45 mm, and the rule that catches people out is the background: a plain light grey or cream surface, not the pure white most countries want. The head must measure 29 to 34 millimetres from chin to crown, with a neutral expression and nothing covering the face. The digital photo uploaded with an online passport application follows the same framing at a slightly different ratio. HM Passport Office publishes the standard; studios print on 10 × 15 cm paper.
