Tens of thousands of photos in passport applications have been rejected for failing to meet new rules introduced in September last year to combat fraud.
UK Passport Service (UKPS) figures showed that of 597,863 applications in the eight weeks from 12 September some 81,927 photos - 13.7% - were rejected.
The most common problems were obscured eyes, an unsuitable facial expression and incorrect paper, the UKPS said.
A spokesman said rejections were now below 10% and would continue to fall.
UKPS had expected 20-25% of photos to be rejected immediately after the rules came in.
"We thought there would be far more rejections initially but the public is getting used to the new rules," the spokesman said.
Introduced on 12 September, these demand:
. The photo must be 45mm by 35mm and printed on normal photographic paper
. The photo is taken against an off-white, cream or light grey background
. Subjects look straight ahead with mouths shut and "neutral" expressions
. Subjects are on their own in the picture and their head and shoulders take up 65% to 75% of the frame
New biometric passports have the picture saved on a chip, which can be scanned to reveal the holder's facial image.
International standards
The UKPS spokesman said: "We admit that people have been inconvenienced - that's the downside of any new measure, especially enhanced security measures."
