A face photo is required when applying for a UK ETA for identity verification.
The photo should be in color, clear, and taken from the front.
The background should be light and simple, with no shadows on your face or behind you.
Photos with filters, heavy editing, blur, red-eye, dark lighting, or a busy background may cause problems during the application process.
Your eyes should be clearly visible, and your face should not be covered by hair, a hat, sunglasses, or other items.
Head coverings should generally be avoided unless they are worn for religious or medical reasons.
Before applying for a UK ETA, prepare your passport information and a face photo that meets the required standards.
