Her Majesty’s Passport Office does not hold information on passport photographs from people with white hair on a white background not being accepted within the examination process.HM Passport Office provides clear guidance on photo standards, which includes advice for taking digital passport photographs using a ‘plain light-coloured background’ and for paper photograph using a ‘plain cream or light grey background'. This guidance is available on GOV.UK <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fphotos-for-passports&data=04%7C01%7CIPSPQs%40hmpo.gov.uk%7Cdf4c0ba18ae34f319a4a08d9e57e8194%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C637793153757354994%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=HGUakObAeyZERaBEZxbC6j6Ah8W6TGWhqNZeHqQXOm4%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">Get a passport photo - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a><a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fphotos-for-passports%2Fphoto-requirements&data=04%7C01%7CIPSPQs%40hmpo.gov.uk%7Cdf4c0ba18ae34f319a4a08d9e57e8194%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C637793153757354994%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=co4%2FPuNTrQp2eX%2BqRkETNU1nbA38Gd0uuTYAWsX%2Fuxo%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">Get a passport photo: Printed photos - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a>
