Jersey Passport Photo

Printed Photographs for a Jersey Passport Application

The Jersey Passport Office’s published photograph guidance asks for two identical printed photos. Even when part of an application or payment is handled online, prepare the physical image submission requested by the office. For an application through Jersey, the distinction between an online service and the required prints prevents a digital file being mistaken for the complete photo submission.

Check whether the application and photograph need a countersignatory. Jersey’s renewal guidance explains that a signature may be needed to prove identity, and the office publishes separate instructions on who can provide it. Arrange this alongside the supporting identity documents, leaving time for the chosen person to complete the required endorsement rather than signing the images yourself.

Use a current recognisable likeness and compare both copies before submitting them. The portrait should have consistent photo quality, appropriate framing and a clear facial expression; the detailed requirements below cover the visual specifications. Our photo preparation instructions help prepare the image before printing, while the official guidance determines the final application requirements.

Keep the photographs protected and together with the correct applicant’s documents, particularly when submitting several family applications. If urgent travel is involved, contact the Passport Office about the appropriate service. A temporary passport follows a separate assessment and should not be assumed to use exactly the same processing arrangements as an ordinary renewal.
