It took three attempts to get the Photo-me camera to take an approved image. The Passport website then suggested the image was not acceptable but the comments box along side it allowed me to suggest it looked acceptable as to their rules. Accepted OK after that.

Easy and quick. Applied online as a renewal BUT for an additional UK business traveller passport (as no specific option for this on the online application form). Posted documents from abroad, hence delay in receiving. New additional passport posted to UK address. Easy and painless!
