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

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