At a glance

Overview
This site covers one Virgin Islands document: the BOTC passport. It is issued by the Government of the Virgin Islands through the Civil Registry & Passport Office, which also handles British (UK) passports. GOV.UK says BOTC holders living in a territory apply for their variant passport at the local government office.
The territory publishes no photo size, background colour or count of prints for the BOTC passport, and it does not say how photos are supplied. UK passport photos follow HM Passport Office rules, which GOV.UK sets out in detail, so those are the nearest published reference. Contact the office before you print.
