Get a photograph for your application
If your application requires you to submit your photograph, then make sure that:
- your photo must not be more than 3 months old
- you only submit a passport-style photo.
Your photo must meet these requirements:
- photos must be 35mm to 40mm wide and 45mm to 50mm high
- the size of the face from chin to crown can be 32mm to 36mm
- be of good quality, in colour photo
- plain white or light grey background that contrasts with your face
- no retouching (no removing background, moles, wrinkles, scars)
- clear, focused image with no marks or 'red eye'
- consistent lighting (no shadows or reflections), with appropriate brightness and contrast to show natural skin tone
- Face centred and looking at camera straight on; not tilted
- hair off face, so that edges of your face are visible
- eyes open, mouth closed
- glasses are not allowed in passport photos. If you cannot remove your glasses for medical reasons:
- the frames must not obscure your eyes, and
- there can’t be any reflection from the lenses.
- neutral expression (not smiling, laughing, or frowning)
- if you usually cover your head for religious reasons, you can wear the covering in your passport photo
- jewellery can’t obscure any part of your face, especially the eyes, mouth and nose. There cannot be reflection from rings or studs.
