United Kingdom ID / Licence identity-document photo guide (United Kingdom)
Scope lock: United Kingdom ID / Licence is an identity / residence-style document page, kept separate from passport and licence URLs.
This United Kingdom page covers an identity / residence-style photo for United Kingdom ID / Licence, kept separate from passport and driving-licence URLs.
This article is scoped to United Kingdom ID / Licence as a United Kingdom identity / residence-style photo (35 × 45 mm, Light grey), kept separate from passport and licence pages.
United Kingdom ID photos are usually a 35 × 45 mm portrait with strict head-height bands. That is a different geometry from square US prints — never stretch a UK booth file to fake 35 × 45 mm.
Take a sharp indoor frame, keep United Kingdom ID / Licence selected, and let FotoPass set 35 × 45 mm on Light grey for United Kingdom ID intake.
If you arrived from a passport or licence search, confirm the selector — wrong-category crops are a common registry refusal.

ID upload vs printed card photo
Digital ID filings usually want JPEG near 35 × 45 mm. Counter applications may need a physical print — finish the biometric crop before you compress.
