Photo-Taking Tips
Follow these guidelines to create the perfect passport picture.
1. Consider the Distance
Keep your front-facing camera 16–20 inches (40–50cm) away from your face. For rear cameras, keep a 4–6 foot (1–2 meter) distance.
2. Head & Body Straight
Look directly into the camera and avoid tilting your body. Portrait mode is unacceptable for passport photos.
3. Prepare Good Lighting
Take your passport photos in a daylight setting, like near a window on a sunny day. Shadows on your face or background are not permitted.
