An Identity Photograph, Measured Rather Than Cropped by Eye PASSPORT
These are rejected for head height, not lighting. Every authority states it in millimetres, and no photo editor works in millimetres, so people crop by eye and find out weeks later.
The photograph
Drag each marker, or select one and use the arrow keys. Moving a marker sideways moves the centre line the face is cropped around.
Which specification
These are the published figures. The issuing authority’s current guidance is what counts, and this gives you a number to check against it rather than a crop to trust.
The finished photograph
Several on one print
