United Kingdom ID / Licence from Canada: identity-document crop only
Scope lock: United Kingdom ID / Licence is an identity / residence-style document page, kept separate from passport and licence URLs.
In Canada, US united kingdom id / licence requests are common for dual citizens and frequent travellers. Canadian passport dimensions (often taller prints) are a frequent mix-up with United Kingdom square or ratio crops.
This article is scoped to United Kingdom ID / Licence as a United Kingdom identity / residence-style photo (35 × 45 mm, Light grey), kept separate from passport and licence pages.
Cross-border ID work: market Canada, photo law United Kingdom for United Kingdom ID / Licence. Passport and licence copy stay on other URLs.
United Kingdom ID photos are usually a 35 × 45 mm portrait with strict head-height bands. That is a different geometry from square US prints — never stretch a UK booth file to fake 35 × 45 mm.
Home-market tip: Canada passport photos are commonly about 50 × 70 mm. United Kingdom ID / Licence instead demands 35 × 45 mm — different aspect ratio, not a simple resize.
From Canada: selfie → United Kingdom ID / Licence → upload → use the export for United Kingdom registry / residence filings.
Why Canada defaults fail United Kingdom ID checks
A 50 × 70 mm Canada print is not automatically a valid 35 × 45 mm ID crop for United Kingdom ID / Licence.
Registries want a plain Light grey field and a current likeness — not a reused travel JPEG.
Registry / online ID notes from Canada
File the newest United Kingdom ID / Licence export with the United Kingdom identity office or portal.
Compress only after the ID crop is locked.
Keep the selector on United Kingdom ID / Licence
Do not flip to a Canada passport or licence mid-flow — millimetres will silently change.
United Kingdom ID / residence photo
United Kingdom ID / Licence uses 35 × 45 mm and a Light grey background. If you arrived from a passport or licence search, confirm the selector still shows this ID document.
