Hi I wanted to know for a guy can they have a pass port picture taken with a whiteshirt and tie on with a light grey background.

Even with the shirt distinctly visable i.e shoulders#? Or does it have to be a coloured top on instead


Thanks

Background should be light grey or cream for UK passport

Uniform, light grey or cream background. 5 - 10 per cent grey is recommended as a background

The rules for passport photos
The photographs you supply with your application must:
show you with a neutral expression and your mouth closed (no grinning, frowning or raised eyebrows)
show you on your own (babies should not have toys or a dummy, and there shouldn’t be other people in the photo)
be in colour, not black and white
be identical
be taken within the last month
be 45 millimetres high x 35 millimetres wide - this is the standard size when you have a passport photo taken in a photo booth or studio (you should not trim a larger photograph to meet this condition)
be clear and in sharp focus, with a clear difference between your face and the background
be taken against a plain cream or plain light grey background
not show you with red-eye
be of you facing forward and looking straight at the camera
not be torn, creased, or marked
be printed on plain white photographic paper
be free from shadows
be taken with your eyes open and clearly visible (no sunglasses or tinted glasses and no hair across your eyes)
be free from reflection or glare on your glasses, and the frames must not cover your eyes - the Identity and Passport Service (IPS) recommends that, if possible, you remove your glasses
be professionally printed (photographs printed at home are not acceptable)
show your full head, without any head covering, unless you wear one for religious beliefs or medical reasons
be taken with nothing covering your face - you should make sure nothing covers the outline of your eyes, nose or mouth
be a close-up of your head and shoulders with a recommended head height (the distance between the bottom of your chin and the crown of your head) between 29 and 34 mm
not have any writing on the front or back, except on certified photos - trademarks or photographic printing on the back must not show through

Im wearing a white t-shirt in my passport photo and so I just look like a floating head with no shoulders... passport is around 5 years old now though I think but dont think its changed.

Would prob get rejected now, but a white shirt isnt a problem today as the background wont be white
