So, you're looking to get UK passport ID photos?
We can now provide ID Photo Codes

What are ID Photo Codes?

ID Photo Codes (IDPC) are unique to each customer and are generated when you have your ID photo taken by an IDPC compliant photographer. When entered into your online UK passport application, they give Her Majesty's Passport Office (HMPO) direct access to your securely stored digital ID photo, which will then be transferred electronically into your UK passport application.
The result is that the whole process of validating and sending HMPO your ID photo is simplified - the handling of physical photographs or transferring and uploading digital files is no longer required.

How do I use the new ID Photo Codes?
Just 3 simple steps:
Find an IDPC compliant photographer to take your photograph
You then receive an email containing your unique ID Photo Code
Enter your ID Photo Code into your online UK passport application
That's it, Job Done!


Why should I use ID Photo Codes?

It's now the easiest and most secure way to attach your ID Photo to your passport application.
Your ID photo will be biometrically checked with HMPO regulations to ensure it passes their passport photo requirements whilst you're still with the photographer

Please note that some automatic photo booths supply photo codes, but they DO NOT check your image with the HMPO system to ensure it passes their passport photo requirements. This can waste your time and money as quite often their photos produce an image check fail at the passport application stage and you have to start all over again getting a new ID photo taken.
