United Arab Emirates Passport from the UK: ignore GOV.UK sizes
Scope lock: this URL is for United Arab Emirates Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
Many people in the United Kingdom order a United Arab Emirates 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 United Arab Emirates specifications on this page do.
This article is scoped to United Arab Emirates Passport as a United Arab Emirates travel / passport photo (40 × 60 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 United Arab Emirates form. That portrait is legal for a UK passport — and wrong for United Arab Emirates Passport at 40 × 60 mm on Light grey.
Official framing for United Arab Emirates Passport on FotoPass is 40 × 60 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 United Arab Emirates Passport, upload here, then attach the export to the United Arab Emirates online tool or take it to your London / Belfast / Edinburgh consular packet — not a high-street “UK passport” booth ticket.
35 × 45 mm vs United Arab Emirates Passport geometry
UK passport guidance is a tall rectangle. United Arab Emirates Passport needs 40 × 60 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 United Arab Emirates Passport file on FotoPass for United Arab Emirates passport filings.
Filing United Arab Emirates Passport from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland
Online United Arab Emirates passport renewals accept digital photos when the crop matches United Arab Emirates rules. Embassy / consulate appointments serving UK residents still expect the same 40 × 60 mm standard — bring the newest download, not last year’s holiday snap.

United Arab Emirates passport photo — what people search
This page is scoped to United Arab Emirates Passport only: 40 × 60 mm on a Light grey background. Licence or national-ID crops belong on their own document pages.
Queries such as “United Arab Emirates passport photo size” and “biometric passport photo” should land here — not on a driving-licence tool with a coincidentally similar millimetre size.
United Arab Emirates passport note
UAE passport photo guidance is picky about plain backgrounds; keep United Arab Emirates Passport at 40 × 60 mm.
