Guidance on an acceptable photograph

• Facing forwards, looking straight towards the camera.
• It must show your head and shoulders only, without any headgear, unless worn for religious beliefs or medical reasons
• Taken recently
• Passport style and sized 45mm x 35mm
• A colour photograph taken against a plain light-coloured background.
• Undamaged, for example, by creases, staples, paperclips or other marks
• Your eyes open and clearly visible.

• 

  Size and position of image

  Look directly ahead straight into the camera

  Image background

  Avoid patterns and other images encroaching into the background. A plain light coloured background is most successful.
