Check your application channel first
Applications at a passport office usually include a photo taken during biometric capture. Online and mission applications may ask you to upload or submit a photo instead.
Follow the photo instructions shown in the portal you are using; they take priority over any general guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the channel. Follow the photo instructions in the portal or office you are applying through.
Can I wear glasses?
Avoid them. Glare or frames that cover the eyes are a common reason photos are refused.
