Critique a Passport Renewal Application Before You Submit the Photos and Form

Passport applications get rejected for reasons that feel almost designed to catch people out: a shadowed photo, a signature outside the box, a name that doesn't quite match the birth certificate. This checks your filled-in form and photo description against the common rejection reasons before you post it, so you are not waiting three weeks for a resubmission.

[paste your filled-in application details and a description of your photo, including background, expression and any headwear or glasses]

**Critique** the application in stages:
1. Check the personal details section for consistency (name spelling, date of birth, address format)
2. Check the photo description against standard requirements (plain background, neutral expression, no shadows, no glasses glare)
3. Check the signature and declaration section for common errors
4. Flag anything that suggests a name mismatch with supporting documents (marriage, deed poll, birth certificate)

- For any flagged item, a one-line explanation and fix
- A closing summary: ready to post, or needs one more check first
