It's DIY really, 'cos it involves taking your own photograph!
My wife and I need to renew our passports, and we're trying to do it online.
We're following all the advice when we take photos of each other, but every time we try to upload them it rejects them saying that they are too dark or unevenly lit. but, in my opinion, they're a lot better than some to the examples they show of "what good looks like".
Has anyone else found this? Are they going to reject DIY photos regardless? Has anyone been successful by saying, in effect "This photo is ok - cope with it!"?
