Germany Passport from the UK: ignore GOV.UK sizes
Scope lock: this URL is for Germany Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
Many people in the United Kingdom order a Germany 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 Germany specifications on this page do.
This article is scoped to Germany Passport as a Germany travel / passport photo (35 × 45 mm, Light grey). Driving-licence and national-ID wording is not pasted here.
British applicants routinely paste a 35 × 45 mm HMPO-style portrait into a Germany form. That portrait is legal for a UK passport — and wrong for Germany Passport at 35 × 45 mm on Light grey.
German-speaking passport standards commonly use 35 × 45 mm with a light background. Germany Passport on this page instead targets 35 × 45 mm and Light grey — do not assume an EU booth print is interchangeable.
Practical UK workflow: selfie in daylight near a window (avoid yellow tungsten alone), confirm Germany Passport, upload here, then attach the export to the Germany online tool or take it to your London / Belfast / Edinburgh consular packet — not a high-street “UK passport” booth ticket.
35 × 45 mm vs Germany Passport geometry
UK passport guidance is a tall rectangle. Germany Passport needs 35 × 45 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 Germany Passport file on FotoPass for Germany passport filings.
Filing Germany Passport from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland
Online Germany passport renewals accept digital photos when the crop matches Germany rules. Embassy / consulate appointments serving UK residents still expect the same 35 × 45 mm standard — bring the newest download, not last year’s holiday snap.

Germany passport photo — what people search
This page is scoped to Germany Passport only: 35 × 45 mm on a Light grey background. Licence or national-ID crops belong on their own document pages.

35×45 biometric (passport only)

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