New Zealand Passport from the UK: ignore GOV.UK sizes
Scope lock: this URL is for New Zealand Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
Many people in the United Kingdom order a New Zealand 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 New Zealand specifications on this page do.
This article is scoped to New Zealand Passport as a New Zealand 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 New Zealand form. That portrait is legal for a UK passport — and wrong for New Zealand Passport at 35 × 45 mm on Light grey.
Official framing for New Zealand 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 New Zealand Passport, upload here, then attach the export to the New Zealand online tool or take it to your London / Belfast / Edinburgh consular packet — not a high-street “UK passport” booth ticket.
35 × 45 mm vs New Zealand Passport geometry
UK passport guidance is a tall rectangle. New Zealand 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 New Zealand Passport file on FotoPass for New Zealand passport filings.
Filing New Zealand Passport from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland
Online New Zealand passport renewals accept digital photos when the crop matches New Zealand 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.
Compress for portal kilobyte caps only after FotoPass has set the biometric frame for New Zealand Passport.
New Zealand passport photo — what people search
This page is scoped to New Zealand Passport only: 35 × 45 mm on a Light grey background. Licence or national-ID crops belong on their own document pages.
Queries such as “New Zealand passport photo size” and “biometric passport photo” should land here — not on a driving-licence tool with a coincidentally similar millimetre size.
