Mistakes to avoid when getting a passport photo taken

Mistakes to Avoid When Getting a Passport Photo Taken Here are the top 6 reasons passport photos are rejected: 1. Improper Size — Photos size exactly 2” x2” without a white border.

2. Over Coverage or lightness — Glower in the photo or light reflecting on face and eyes.

3. Shades and Dark Spots — All facial features must be fully seen and familiar.

4. Imprecise Focus — Average distance for a shooting is about 3 feet. Otherwise, facial features may be blurred.

5. Sunglasses and Caps — Do not wear things that unclear the face in any way. Glasses are allowed only with a medical certificate, so most people will have to remove them. Even then, they may not shade your face.

6. Improper Profile / Camera Angle — Face the camera full on, looking directly into the camera. Even a refined head tilt can result in your picture being rejected. The picture must include your entire profile from the crown of the head to tops of shoulders.
