We\u2019re so used to having freedom over our pictures. Unfortunately, we don\u2019t have free rein when it comes to our passport photo. This is something to consider if you plan to play around with the picture and, in particular, use software to mirror it.<\/p>\n
The Passport Office<\/a> is aware that people are going down this route \u2013 and it\u2019s important that you know where they stand on the matter before submitting a mirrored passport photo. Let\u2019s look at what you need to know.<\/p>\n No.<\/strong> The officials who have the power to accept or reject your passport photo have been advised to keep an eye out for people submitting mirrored pictures. The actual guideline states that \u2018photographs where the image is reflected left to right or right to left so that the picture is flipped from one side to another, are not acceptable\u2019. Therefore, you can expect a request to submit another picture if you do flout the rules.<\/p>\n You might well question how an official you\u2019ve never met before would be able to distinguish whether you have submitted a mirrored passport photo. Well, the answer is that \u2013 if they have even the slightest suspicion \u2013 they\u2019ll check your new photograph against previous images that you\u2019ve used in the past. In particular, they\u2019ll look to see if applicants have any \u2018distinguishing mark or disability that is visible on one side of their face\u2019.<\/p>\n It\u2019s true that you might be able to pull the wool over someone\u2019s eyes \u2013 but you\u2019re only playing with fire if you do submit a mirrored passport photo. The guidelines state that \u2018mirror images may cause issues at border control\u2019, meaning you can expect that sooner or later you\u2019ll come to regret your decision and wished you\u2019d have just submitted a legitimate passport photo the first time around.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a lot of information like this to understand before you submit a passport photo.
