If you are taking the photo on your mobile phone, we recommend that you download and use mobile apps that are specifically designed to take photographs for passport or identity card applications. These apps usually come with features that will help you take photographs in the required dimensions.

This includes the modification of facial features and/or the usage of photo editing software.

Photographs which do not meet the requirements can result in a delay in the application.  We strongly recommend against using a mobile phone to take a selfie as the result is usually not ideal and will cause delay to your application.
