The UK passport photo guidelines (PDF) state:
Photographs printed at home are unlikely to be of a sufficient quality.
This statement looks very much like it's aimed at a general, uninformed reader (e.g. to deter them from sending a photo printed on unsuitable paper). It also implies that home-printed photos could be of sufficient quality, but provides no further detail.
I'm interested to hear if anyone has experience of successfully submitting a home-printed photo with a UK passport application. Can a photo printed with a colour inkjet printer onto inkjet photo paper be accepted?
Answer
Yes, I have taken photos using a Nikon DSLR, printed them on an HP inkjet printer and successfully submitted them in a UK passport application.
You have to be very careful about background, composition and pose. The rules are very strict.
