Before you upload
Your photo has the best chance of acceptance if it meets all of these. Check each one before uploading.
✓Face the camera directly
✓Neutral expression
✓Mouth closed
✓Eyes open
✓Plain light background
✓No shadows on face or background
✓No glasses, unless you can't remove them for medical reasons
✓No hat or head covering, except plain religious head coverings
✓Hair does not obscure the edges of your face or eyes
✓Use an original, unedited photo — no filters or retouching
Can't tick every box? The styled option corrects the background, lighting and glasses, and styles your outfit with a business jacket or a neat collared top. Upload anyway — the free preview shows exactly what passes.
Acceptance is at the discretion of the relevant authority.
