Ireland Passport from the UK: ignore GOV.UK sizes
Scope lock: this URL is for Ireland Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
Many people in the United Kingdom order a Ireland 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 Ireland specifications on this page do.
This article is scoped to Ireland Passport as a Ireland 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 Ireland form. That portrait is legal for a UK passport — and wrong for Ireland Passport at 35 × 45 mm on Light grey.
Official framing for Ireland Passport on FotoPass is 35 × 45 mm with a Light grey background. Treat any other country’s booth print as a different template.
Practical UK workflow: selfie in daylight near a window (avoid yellow tungsten alone), confirm Ireland Passport, upload here, then attach the export to the Ireland online tool or take it to your London / Belfast / Edinburgh consular packet — not a high-street “UK passport” booth ticket.
35 × 45 mm vs Ireland Passport geometry
UK passport guidance is a tall rectangle. Ireland 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 Ireland Passport file on FotoPass for Ireland passport filings.
Filing Ireland Passport from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland
Online Ireland passport renewals accept digital photos when the crop matches Ireland 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.

Ireland passport photo — what people search
This page is scoped to Ireland Passport only: 35 × 45 mm on a Light grey background. Licence or national-ID crops belong on their own document pages.
Queries such as “Ireland passport photo size” and “biometric passport photo” should land here — not on a driving-licence tool with a coincidentally similar millimetre size.

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