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: white or close to white, no border, 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.
  • File too large or too small for the upload form. Our file is made to fit its limits.
