How do I update my passport photo?

To update your passport photo, you will need to follow specific guidelines set by HM Passport Office. First, ensure that your new photograph meets their requirements for size, quality, composition, and background. Typically, the photo must be 45mm high and 35mm wide, taken against a plain, light background. Your face should be visible from the front, with no shadows or reflections, and your expression should be neutral. Next, you will need to apply for a new passport or renew your existing one, as the photo cannot be changed independently. During the application process, there may be an option to upload your new photograph online or provide a physical copy of it. Ensure you have completed the rest of the application form accurately. After submitting, HM Passport Office will process your application, and you will receive a new passport containing your updated photo. For the most accurate and current information, including guidelines for specific photo requirements and application forms, it is advisable to visit the official HM Passport Office website.
