Photo rules

Common reasons photos get rejected

How SnapIDs gets it right

Most rejections come from the wrong head size, a bad background, or glare. SnapIDs solves this before you even take the shot. A live coach checks your distance, centering, head angle, eyes, expression and lighting in real time, and only captures when every check passes. The photo is then framed mathematically to the exact Digital, plain light background specification, and the background is cleaned to a compliant white, while your face is never altered.

Frequently asked questions

What photo do I need for a UK ETA?

The UK ETA requires a clear, recent digital photo of your face against a plain light background, looking straight at the camera with no glasses. SnapIDs captures and formats it for you.

Do I need to print my UK ETA photo?

No. The UK ETA photo is uploaded digitally through the official app or website, so you only need the digital file that SnapIDs gives you.
