Tips for taking your own biometric photos

Follow these steps to get the best results

Distance from the camera while taking a passport photo

Mind the distance

Pose 4–6 feet (1–2 meters) from the camera. Use a timer to take your photo or have someone snap it for you.

Face the camera directly

Keep your head straight. Avoid tilting your body or looking away. Remember: portrait mode is not suitable for any ID photos.

Ensure good lighting

Take your photos in daylight e.g., next to a bright window. Shadows on your face or in the background are not allowed.

What should I wear for a passport photo?

Straight poses and neutral facial expressions are one thing. But what about the passport photo dress code? Does it even exist?

While the US Department of State’s clothing guidelines are quite relaxed, there are some aspects you must pay attention to when choosing clothes and accessories for your passport photo.

Here are some tips that will help you prepare perfect passport pictures:

Pick casual, everyday clothes. You should look as natural as possible in your passport photo. Also, avoid white clothes—you don’t want to blend with the background, after all!
You have complete freedom as to your hairstyle. Just be careful about your hair covering any part of your face or your hairstyle going beyond the picture’s frame. Everything, including your hair, must fit into the 2x2 photo.
Limit the accessories. Give up on anything that can cause reflections or shadows in your passport photo. Jewelry is acceptable—just make it simple.
Glasses and headgear, in general, are forbidden. The exceptions include medical or religious reasons for wearing them.

To sum up—

Ensure your passport photo reflects your natural, current appearance. If you hesitate about whether something is acceptable, you can always rely on our expert’s feedback!
