How to take the perfect passport photo

The Window Rule (Most Important): Stand facing a bright window during daytime, with a plain white wall behind you. Natural window light gives even, shadow-free illumination on your face.

No Selfies: Hand-held selfies warp facial features and crop out shoulders. Have someone else take the picture, or use a tripod/phone stand.

Step Away from the Wall: Stand at least 1.5-2 feet (half a meter) away from the wall behind you. Standing flush against the wall creates harsh shadows behind your head.

Frame for Chest Up: Show your entire head, shoulders, and upper chest. Do not zoom in on just your face. The system needs enough body in the frame to scale correctly.

Required by U.S. Passport Photo Standards:
  • Remove all glasses
  • Keep a neutral expression with closed lips (no smiling with teeth)
  • Remove hats and head coverings (unless for religious or medical reasons)
  • Do not use phone flash (causes red-eye, glare, and harsh shadows)
