Quick checklist
Use this short list to decide whether the current photo is worth continuing with.
- Keep the delivered file unchanged when submitting it.
- Save the official rejection message or screenshot if a rejection happens.
- Email support with order details and evidence.
- Read the refund policy because it is the formal eligibility source.
Step by step
Follow this sequence to keep the workflow clear and reduce avoidable mistakes.
- 1
Check the rejection reason
Support can review technical image-compliance issues related to the delivered file, not unrelated application problems.
- 2
Collect the evidence
Keep screenshots, messages, order details, and the delivered file context so support can understand the claim.
- 3
Contact support
Email support@passport-photo.co.uk with a short explanation and the evidence.
- 4
Review against the policy
Support reviews the case against the published refund policy and may arrange a remake or refund where the claim qualifies.
Common mistakes
These are the errors most likely to waste time or trigger a preventable rejection.
- Submitting an edited or recompressed version and then treating it as the delivered file.
- Sending a refund request without rejection evidence.
- Confusing wrong output-route choice with a technical photo rejection.
- Assuming a poor original source photo is always covered after delivery.
What support can review
A review needs a clear link between the delivered file and the technical issue.
- Support can review whether a delivered output appears to have a technical image-compliance issue.
- Support needs the order email or reference and rejection evidence where available.
- Support may ask whether the submitted file was the same as the delivered file.
- Support cannot overrule official application decisions or review unrelated application problems.
Evidence that helps
Good evidence makes the support path faster and more accountable.
- The order email or delivery email used at checkout.
- A screenshot or message showing the rejection reason.
- The delivered file context and the route where it was submitted.
- Confirmation that the file was not edited, recompressed, or altered after delivery.
What is usually outside the review
This page should reduce support confusion before it happens.
- Wrong application route or wrong package choice after delivery.
- Change of mind after digital supply has started, subject to mandatory law.
- Problems caused by severe blur, darkness, or source-photo issues visible before checkout.
- Official application issues unrelated to the technical photo file.
How to avoid a refund problem before checkout
A reliable service should help users avoid preventable claims.
- Use the preview before paying and retake if the source photo is visibly weak.
- Choose the correct output route before checkout: digital file, photo code, or printable sheet.
- Review photo handling, quality review, and service standards before uploading sensitive photos.
- Keep the delivered file unchanged when submitting it so evidence remains clear if support review is needed.
FAQ
Can I get a remake or refund after a technical rejection?
Support can review the evidence under the published refund policy when the rejection is for a technical image-compliance issue directly related to the delivered file.
What evidence should I send?
Send the order email or reference, rejection screenshot or message, delivered file context, and confirmation that the submitted file was unchanged.
Does this cover choosing the wrong output route?
Usually no. Wrong route choice is different from a technical compliance issue in the delivered file.
Where is the formal policy?
The formal policy is the Refund Policy page. This page is an explanatory guide to help users understand the support review route.
