Other Passport / Visa Photo Rules, Guidelines, and Specifications
Can I wear sunglasses, glasses, or tinted glasses in my passport photo?
No, you'll need to take them off for your passport picture.
A doctor's note is required if you are unable to remove your glasses for medical reasons.
Do I have the option of wearing a hat or headcover?
If you wish to wear a hat or head covering, you must provide a signed statement confirming that it is part of recognized, traditional religious attire that is frequently worn or required in public, or a signed statement from a doctor confirming the item is used daily for medical purposes.
Head coverings and hats must not obscure your hairline or cast shadows on your face.
What is the best way to pose for my photo?
Display a neutral expression or a natural smile while facing the camera with your head centered in the frame and not tilted.
Is it okay to smile in my passport photo?
Yes, but the smile must be natural and not exaggerated.
What is the dress code for my photo? Can I wear a uniform?
Wearing a uniform, clothing that looks like a uniform, or camouflage clothing is not permitted.
My photo has red-eye. Can it be removed?
No, you cannot remove red eye digitally. You will need to submit a new photo without red eye.
Are there any tips for taking photos of babies or toddlers?
Your baby or toddler should be the only person in the photo when you take it.
Lie your baby on his or her back on a flat surface (the background will be automatically removed by our website). If you take a picture from above, be sure that your baby's face is not shadowed. You may also find it helpful to take a picture of your child in their car seat.
With your camera in burst mode, take as many photos as you can in one shot.
Does my child's closed eye look acceptable in a picture?
A baby's eyes may be partially closed or completely closed. The eyes of all other children must be open.
Should I take a new photo if I have changed my appearance (grown a beard, dyed my hair)?
You should only apply if your appearance has changed significantly since your passport was issued. Changes in beards or hair colors are not significant. If your current passport photo still identifies you, you do not need to apply for a new one.
You may need a new passport if you have:
-
Undergone significant facial surgery or trauma
-
Added/removed a large number of facial piercings or tattoos
-
Significantly lost or gained weight
-
Transitioned from one gender to another
You do not need to apply for a new passport for your child under 16 if his or her appearance has changed due to natural aging.
