Renewing a passport on-line

[mickmcpaddy]

Hi, am I imagining things or is there a new way to renew you passport where you have a digital photo of yourself and can upload it to the .gov site?

I'm sure I came across it the other week and now I have managed to get someone to take a serious picture of me without loads of piss taking I cant find the portal.

It even says this on the first page

PHOTOS

If you use the new online passport renewal service you’ll need someone to take a photo of you using a digital camera or smartphone.
If you use the old ‘existing’ online service, send your application by post, or use the Passport Check and Send service, you’ll need 2 identical new photos of yourself.
Your application can be delayed if you don’t follow the rules about passport photos.

But I'm buggered if I can find it.

Edit : this is about as close as I can find to it.

Managed to do it this morning, last night it just kept going to the old portal where it wants you to print off the documents but today the interface was totally different, maybe its only active in office hours or something.

It did reject the photo, but like you I just ploughed on regardless, says I had my eyes shut when quite clearly they are open. It was so hard not to write something sarcastic in the box regarding the "computer says no", something along the lines of "open your eyes dheads" I thought would be appropriate.
