United Kingdom driving licence 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.
Home-market tip: United States passport photos are commonly about 51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 in). United Kingdom Driving licence instead demands 35 × 45 mm — different aspect ratio, not a simple resize.
From United States: selfie → United Kingdom Driving licence selected → upload → send the export to the United Kingdom licence portal or counter — not a recycled travel JPEG.
Why United States prints fail United Kingdom licence desks
A 51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 in) United States travel print does not become a legal 35 × 45 mm licence photo by trimming one edge.
