Between the list of guidelines and having to trail down to a photo booth, it can be a hassle. Double that when it&#8217;s a child passport photo. But what if you could scrap all the hassle and take a photo within minutes in your own home? And could it be done using a device everyone has to hand &#8211; your iPhone?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The short answer is yes, but there are a few conditions that you&#8217;ll need to keep in mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Online passport photos are accepted by GOV.uk when applying for a passport, and they even state in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/photos-for-passports\/rules-for-digital-photos\" target=\"_blank\">guidelines <\/a>that digital photos can be accepted from three methods: get someone else to take a photo for you using a device with photo capabilities; go to a photo shop and ask for a digital copy using a code; go to a photo booth that provides digital codes along with the physical copy. Of the three, it&#8217;s clear that the first option is not only the quickest but also the easiest.<\/p>\n<p>To make sure you get it right the first time, review the guidelines laid out by GOV.uk. You will require someone else to take the photo from the shoulders up, against a light background, and of clear quality. There will be a chance to adjust the size of your photo during the application process and you will be given a preliminary decision at the point of upload, which is a good indicator that your photo will be approved when your application is reviewed later.<\/p>\n<p>If you are still unsure of whether your photo qualifies or how to take it, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paspic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Papsic <\/a>is available to give you peace of mind. Using your phone, Papsic will take you clearly and concisely through each step of the process for quick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paspic.com\/How-to-take-your-passport-photos\" target=\"_blank\">Digital passport photos<\/a> and ensure they&#8217;re suitable before you even begin your passport application.
