Default diy passport photo

Anyone know if the passport office will accept photos taken with a (home)
digital camera 3.1Mpix?
The reason I ask is that the blurb says the pictures must not be trimmed! So
even if the pic is otherwise ok, unless it can be printed (not cut to) the size
they state they won't accept it? Thinking about it maybe guillotining it
accurately would be ok? Just wondered anyway - before spent £££ on the P.O.
photo booth.


we did our little boys one using a home camera but then trimmed the
photo and took it to Jessops, 49p for 8 passport size photos with
borders. Took it to post office check and send counter who said they
couldn't process application as it had been started online and so
wasn't hand written..(hmmmm..). Also advised that picture was likely
too dark. New passport in hand 10 days later.
