Tips for taking the right photo
Position yourself in front of a plain white wall under natural or evenly distributed artificial light. Look directly at the camera with your face fully visible from the front. Glasses are not recommended. Make sure your hair does not cover your facial features.
Common reasons for photo rejection
• Background is not plain white or light grey. • Head height falls outside 70–80% of the total photo height. • Eyes are closed or partially visible. • Shadows, reflections or colour distortion on the face. • Photo is older than 6 months.
