✓ HMPO Specific Rules

  • •Dimensions: 35 mm wide by 45 mm high. Head height (crown to chin) must measure between 29 mm and 34 mm.
  • •Background Tint: Light grey or cream background. Pure stark white is often rejected by HMPO automated scanners.
  • •Neutral Expression: Mouth firmly closed, no teeth visible, no grinning or frowning. Eyes looking directly into camera.
  • •Hair & Face: Hair must not cover eyes or eyebrows. Face must be fully clear and unobstructed.

✗ Mistakes to Avoid

  • •Glasses Reflections: Tinted lenses or flash glare on spectacles will cause immediate rejection. It is best to remove glasses.
  • •Shadows: Shadows on the face or behind the head against the backdrop.
  • •Head Tilted: Tilting your head sideways or forward/backward is not permitted.
  • •Watermarked Downloads: Commercial sites charge £10+ and watermark your photos. Our tool is 100% free with zero watermarks.
