How to take a photo?

Look Straight at the Camera

Ensure you are looking straight at the camera to establish proper eye contact.

Avoid Shadow on Face

Shadows on the face or background in a passport photo can create an inconsistent appearance.

Do not tilt your face

Keep your head straight and centered, facing the camera directly.

Keep your Mouth Closed

Do not open your mouth, and make sure to maintain a natural and appropriate expression.

Clear Glasses With No Reflection

Only wear clear or non-tinted glasses to ensure your eyes are visible and do not reflect any light.

Neat and Tidy

Ensure your appearance, especially your hair, is well-groomed and styled neatly.

Avoid Covering your Face

Do not cover your face, and ensure that your entire face is clearly visible in the photo.

Avoid Hair on your Face

Make sure your hair is not covering your face so that it is fully visible in the photo.

Children free of dummies

If taking a picture of an infant, make sure they are not holding any dummies or other accessories.

Do not Smile

Do not smile in the photo to ensure it looks professional and appropriate.

No Headgear

Avoid covering your head or wearing accessories that could hide your face.
