Canadian dual citizens & travellers: United Kingdom Passport sizes
Scope lock: this URL is for United Kingdom Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
In Canada, US united kingdom passport 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 Passport as a United Kingdom travel / passport photo (35 × 45 mm, Light grey). Driving-licence and national-ID wording is not pasted here.
Canada’s common 50 × 70 mm passport strip is taller than United Kingdom Passport at 35 × 45 mm. Dual citizens who recycle the Canadian print into a United Kingdom form get predictable rejections.
United Kingdom passport 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.
From any province: selfie → United Kingdom Passport selected → upload on this page → use the export for United Kingdom online tools or a United Kingdom appointment while living in Canada.
50 × 70 mm Canada vs United Kingdom Passport
Do not trim a Canadian strip into another shape in Preview/Photos — head-size percentages break. Regenerate with United Kingdom Passport so 35 × 45 mm is authored correctly.
Background must read Light grey for this passport document even if your Canadian studio used a cooler grey.
Cross-border filing habits for United Kingdom Passport
Keep separate folders: “CA passport” vs “United Kingdom Passport”. Mixing filenames is how the wrong JPEG gets uploaded at midnight.
