UK passport photo requirements

GOV.UK says a digital photo with a code from a photo booth or shop is more likely to be approved, but you can also use your own photo; ask someone else to take it. Use a recent photo, in focus, with no filters or edits. Children under 6 don't need to look straight at the camera, and babies under 1 can have their eyes closed.
