What is a Passport Image Code?

What is a Passport Image Code?


What is a UK Passport Renewal Code and How do I get One?

Her Majesty’s Passport Office (HMPO) encourage people applying for new or renewed passports to do so online and they have changed the way that these applications are now made. Instead of uploading your photo during the passport application process (which some people were struggling with due to getting the specification correct), there is a new system involving a secure digital ID Photo Code (IDPC). This simplifies the process of applying for your passport and attaching your compliant ID photo to the rest of your application data.

An IDPC is unique to each customer and is generated when you have your photo taken by an IDPC compliant biometric photographer, which of course VisualChaos Studio is! When you visit our studio to have your passport photo taken, we provide you with your unique code at the time of the visit and you then simply have to enter it when prompted in your online passport application process to make sure your image is digitally submitted with the rest of your passport information.

Your photo is automatically checked against the HMPO’s ISO/IEC-standard 19794-5, based on the geometric standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This check ensures it meets the criteria required to be compliant. When you use VisualChaos Studios to take your passport photo, we will have already passed the image through the UK Government checking software to make sure that it complies, so there’s never any worry that it will get rejected.

As well as being faster than postal applications, online passport applications are also £19.25 cheaper than using the Post Office Check and Send service so that is another benefit!

It is all done in three easy steps

1. Visit an IDPC compliant photographer (such as VisualChaos Studios) and have your biometric compliant picture taken
2. A passport photo sheets is printed containing your unique photo code
3. Enter the code into the online passport application form when prompted to do so

It’s that easy!

We can even produce the Passport Codes from your own digitally taken picture if you prefer to take your own from home. Use our guide to take your photo with your mobile phone correctly ad then purchase the UK code from our website. Upload you own digital picture and we will attach a renewal code to it and complete the biometric checks to produce a compliant photograph from your source digital picture.

Forest Canopy Survey Using Photogrammetry Techniques

Caterham School Photogrammetry of Forest Trees - Surveying for Chalara Fraxinea – Ash Dieback Last year, we were asked by Caterham School to survey and map their school forest known as Old Parks Wood. Ash trees within the wood were suffering from Chalara Fraxinea (Ash Dieback) a disease which has the potential to kill off 80% of the ash trees in the 45-acre wood and once dead, would quickly become dangerous to wildlife and other users of the woods, including the school pupils. The mission was to map the forest canopy by drone using photogrammetry survey techniques so that the school could get a full understanding of the degree of diseased trees that were present, and then subsequently put in place a management plan in conjunction with the Forestry Commission, Natural England and the local council. Project Background In 2014 the school had bought approximately 140 acres of Old Park Wood – partly to protect it from the threat of development but also to secure its long-term future as a bi...

Hidden Issues with Thermal Imaging During Building Surveys

Beyond the Surface: Discovering Hidden Issues with Thermal Imaging during Building Surveys Building surveys have evolved significantly, thanks to advancements in thermal imaging technology and the transformative impact of thermal imaging during building surveys, uncovering concealed issues that traditional methods might overlook. The Power of Thermal Imaging Thermal imaging enables a deeper understanding of a building’s thermal performance. By capturing infrared radiation, these cameras reveal temperature variations that are invisible to the naked eye. This non-destructive technique is particularly valuable for identifying hidden issues affecting a building’s efficiency and structural integrity. Harnessing thermal imaging technology during surveys provides a comprehensive overview of a building’s insulation, HVAC systems, and potential air leaks. This proactive approach goes beyond the surface, allowing for precise problem detection before they escalate. Unearthing Insulation Deficie...
