How to Get Your Railcard Photo Online

When applying for or renewing a Railcard online, you may be asked to provide a clear digital passport-style photo. You can take the picture at home and send it through the Foxly Passport Photo Maker web app , or use the mobile app from the Google Play Store or App Store . Our team then checks and prepares the image before delivery.

This service can be used when a passport-style image is requested for a 16–25 Railcard, 26–30 Railcard, Senior Railcard, Disabled Persons Railcard, Two Together Railcard, Family & Friends Railcard or another eligible Railcard. Requirements may vary by Railcard type and application method, so always follow the instructions displayed during your application.

Digital Railcard photo: online Railcard applications normally request a digital passport-style image rather than one fixed printed size. Your head and shoulders should be shown close-up, with your face clearly visible and recognisable.

Printed passport-style photos: Foxly Passport Photo also offers optional printed photographs in the standard 35 × 45 mm passport-photo size, delivered by post in the UK and Ireland.

Railcard Photo Questions

Does a Railcard photo need to be 35 × 45 mm?

Online Railcard applications normally request a digital passport-style image rather than a physical photograph with one fixed printed measurement. Foxly offers optional 35 × 45 mm printed passport-style photographs, but you should follow the instructions for your selected Railcard.

What file type can I use for a Railcard photo?

JPG, JPEG and PNG files are commonly accepted. The image should be clear, sharp and normally no larger than 5 MB, unless your selected Railcard provides different instructions.

Can I take my Railcard photo with my phone?

Yes. You can use a photograph taken with a smartphone, tablet or digital camera, provided the image is recent, well lit, in sharp focus and shows a recognisable front-facing view of your head and shoulders.

Does Foxly Passport Photo change how I look in the photo?

No. Foxly Passport Photo Maker does not apply beauty filters or change your facial features. The image is checked and prepared while keeping your appearance clear and recognisable.
