Canada Passport from the UK: ignore GOV.UK sizes
Scope lock: this URL is for Canada Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
Many people in the United Kingdom order a Canada Passport while renewing from abroad, booking a US consular appointment, or submitting an online US form. GOV.UK photo rules do not apply to that file — only Canada specifications on this page do.
This article is scoped to Canada Passport as a Canada travel / passport photo (50 × 70 mm, White). Driving-licence and national-ID wording is not pasted here.
British applicants routinely paste a 35 × 45 mm HMPO-style portrait into a Canada form. That portrait is legal for a UK passport — and wrong for Canada Passport at 50 × 70 mm on White.
Canadian passport prints are often 50 × 70 mm. Canada Passport here is 50 × 70 mm — a common dual-citizen mistake is uploading the Canadian strip unchanged.
Practical UK workflow: selfie in daylight near a window (avoid yellow tungsten alone), confirm Canada Passport, upload here, then attach the export to the Canada online tool or take it to your London / Belfast / Edinburgh consular packet — not a high-street “UK passport” booth ticket.
35 × 45 mm vs Canada Passport geometry
UK passport guidance is a tall rectangle. Canada Passport needs 50 × 70 mm (exact millimetres above). Phone “perspective” tools cannot invent the missing width legally.
If a UK chemist already printed 35 × 45 mm, leave that print for UK renewals. Generate a separate Canada Passport file on FotoPass for Canada passport filings.
Filing Canada Passport from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland
Online Canada passport renewals accept digital photos when the crop matches Canada rules. Embassy / consulate appointments serving UK residents still expect the same 50 × 70 mm standard — bring the newest download, not last year’s holiday snap.

Canada passport photo — what people search
This page is scoped to Canada Passport only: 50 × 70 mm on a White background. Licence or national-ID crops belong on their own document pages.
Queries such as “Canada passport photo size” and “biometric passport photo” should land here — not on a driving-licence tool with a coincidentally similar millimetre size.
Canada passport note
IRCC passport prints are commonly 50 × 70 mm. Canada Passport here locks 50 × 70 mm — a frequent dual-citizen mix-up with US 2×2.

Treat UK and Canada photo products as two different SKUs — this page only manufactures the Canada Passport passport one.
