Has anyone submitted a home made photo to get a visa or passport?

The dimensions are tricky now and you can't get one in a normal machine. So has anyone submitted a home made photo made using photo paper and good printing etc?

    yes I have - no problem.

    Just take a digital image according to specification in front of a white background (e.g. white wall). Use fairly diffuse lighting (no direct sunshine) and you will be fine. Crop according to specification in photoshop. If you don't have your own photo printer go to Kinko's.

    I have - you just have to follow some very specific instructions. Passport photos can be printed at home on high quality photographic paper, taken on disk to a local photo store, or printed via photo printing services. Don't pay high costs at passport photo shops. Passport and visa photos to meet the specifications of almost any country can be printed cheaply!

    Could you tell readers your nationality ? I realize that you have posted your query from the UK but it does not tell your citizenship.
