Great, I'll be doing it all online too. I assume it's not too hard to make sure the photo is done as it should be? That's the only part I imagine could go wrong if you have a hint of a smile or a cat hair on your forehead or something.
It was probably the photo that took me the longest to do as I was on my own, so had to set up my camera on the tripod - thankfully I have a remote release - but then having to go back to the camera and check the photo. Plus, it was a bit of a sunshine/cloudy day so then waiting for a bright spell and no shadows... Just checked - I took 51 photos and managed to get one that I was happy to submit as it met all the criteria!Planet Claire said:

Applied for my 17 year old last Spring. Plenty of scare stories but I wasn't worried.
The online witness bit was fast and approved. Then nothing for 3 months despite countless phonecalls to idiots.
Finally spoke to someone who knew what they were doing after 10 weeks and the passport turned up 2 weeks later.
I'm sure most will be fine and I was just unlucky.

Done it all today, including sending old one back
Weirdly, Mrs UTH took loads of photos of me, all looked like they should be ok but the online thing kept saying they were poor, I ended up taking one myself just with outstretched arms and it came up as good!?
I guess there's still a chance it'll get rejected, but here's hoping.
