Default diy passport photo

Anyone know if the passport office will accept photos taken with a (home)
digital camera 3.1Mpix?


I did one for a friends baby a year or two ago - used a 2.1Mpix camera
(plenty for the size in question), tweeked a bit in photoshop and then
printed with a small border at the right size and then cut to size. That
was accepted first try.

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.


Howvwer even having photos done professionally is no guarentee. Loads of
people have had photos of their babies rejected "because they are two
shiny" (the babies that is - not the photos!) an other such BS.
