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

Vietnam passport photo — what people search
This page is scoped to Vietnam Passport only: 40 × 60 mm on a Light grey background. Licence or national-ID crops belong on their own document pages.
Queries such as “Vietnam 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 Vietnam photo products as two different SKUs — this page only manufactures the Vietnam Passport passport one.
