If you supply a digital passport number the DVLA will use the photo held by the Passport Office, in which case you do not need a certified photo, whereas unless you send in a non digital passport, you photo will need to be certified.

I took that information straight from Section 5 of the INF1D...
"Part A – Digital UK passport holders only.
If you are giving your permission for us to contact the Identity and Passport Service, do not send us your digital UK passport. However, you will still need to provide a photo if this is your first photocard licence or if you wish to change your current photo."
