Common reasons photos are rejected
- Head too big or too small for the frame. The chin-to-crown height has a fixed range for this document.
- Wrong background. This document needs: plain, light-coloured, with no shadows or patterns.
- Smiling with teeth, or mouth open. Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed.
- Head tilted or turned. Face the camera straight on with both eyes open.
- Shadows on the face from side light. Stand facing a window or use even light.
- Glare or thick frames over the eyes. Take glasses off if you can.
