How to take a photo that gets accepted

  1. Stand about 1 m (3–4 ft) in front of a plain white or light wall, facing a window for soft, even light.
  2. Ask someone to take the photo at eye level from about 1.2 m (4 ft), or use a timer. Keep your shoulders in the frame.
  3. Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, mouth closed, both eyes open.
  4. Remove glasses, hats and headphones. Religious head coverings are usually allowed if your whole face is visible.
  5. Upload the photo, check the green head guides and the checklist, then download or print.
