The things that actually fail
Not general advice, just the specific traps in this document’s own rules.
- It cannot be a scan or a photo of an existing photo, so you cannot shoot your printed 2x2 with a phone.
- You cannot reuse your passport or ID card photo.
- Shoulders and torso must be clothed.
- The file size cap is 6 MB, not the 10 MB the UK passport allows. Different document, different limit.
