    NOTE that passport pics for a British passport must be 1200dpi or greater and they must be printed on genuine photo paper - ie by a photo lab or a photo machine (ie the ones in boots) not photo paper for your inkjet!

    Are you sure?

    I just printed mine on Photo paper printer is 4800x2400 dpi and cut the 4x6 glossy into passport size and sent it off! Are you saying they will reject this?

    I have just looked at the website and it says
    'printed on plain white photo quality paper (not watermarked or embossed);'
    So you may be OK. On a previous application I remeber it being more strongly worded.

    The only problem you might have is that most inkjet prints will not the last the ten years that is required (although behind plastic in a closed passport they could be ok)
