Your photo is critical to the usability and security of your ID. If your photo does not meet the standards detailed below, you will be asked to resubmit a new photo.
- Good quality, less than six months old
- Clear, focused image with no marks or ‘red’ eye
- Plain white or light grey background that contrasts with your face
- Uniform lighting (no shadows or reflections) with appropriate brightness and contrast to show natural skin tone
- Face and eyes looking directly at the camera and not tilted in any direction
- Hair off the face so that the edges of the face are visible
- Eyes open, mouth closed
- Neutral expression (not smiling, laughing or frowning), which is the easiest way for border systems to match you to your image.
Head coverings (i.e bonnet or hat) and in greyscale are not acceptable. Glasses or jewellery must not obscure any part of the face, especially the area around the eyes, mouth and nose. (Glasses with thick frames or tinted lenses are also not acceptable).
