Verified official information
The United Kingdom does not currently issue a general national identity card equivalent to a Spanish DNI. Former UK identity cards ceased to be valid legal documents in 2011.
We adjust the size and framing to the document's exact format without replacing the background or altering your appearance.
We deliver the digital photo and a print version on a light grey or cream background, the UK standard. As there is no British national ID card, first check the format required by the organisation or procedure (for example, a driving licence or an identity card).
Check the actual procedure before preparing a photo: a generic βUK national IDβ size does not correspond to any current national document.
You don't need to memorize measurements or biometric rules. Imagokit applies this document's official setup and checks the result before delivery.
Take the photo from at least 40 cm (16 in) away from your face. Ideally, have someone else take it for you.
Position your face in front of the lens and keep a neutral expression. Hold the camera at face level.
Face a light source, such as an open window, and use the required real background from the start. We will not replace or retouch it.
Use a real compliant background and keep your appearance natural. We check framing and conditions without altering the image.
If you need to complete more than one application, prepare each photo to the exact size and rules of its document.
