Tips for Uploading your Profile picture

Resolution, Print Size, and Quality

● Submit a high-resolution photo that is not blurry, grainy, or pixelated.
● The correct size of a passport photo is:
○ 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm)
○ Head must be between 1 -1 3/8 inches (25 - 35 mm) from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head
● Printed on matte or glossy photo quality paper.
● Do not change your photo using computer software, phone apps or filters, or artificial intelligence.
● Do not submit photocopies or digitally-scanned photos.
● Do not submit a damaged photo with holes, creases, or smudges.

Pose and Expression

● Have a neutral facial expression with both eyes open and mouth closed.
● Face the camera directly with full face in view.

Lighting and Shadows

● Have uniform lighting on your face.
○ Overhead lighting or lights too far off to the side can cast shadows on your face, obscuring your facial features.
● Lighting that is too bright may cause your image to be overexposed, while lighting that is too dim may make it underexposed.

Attire, Hats, and Glasses

● Take off any eyeglasses, sunglasses, or tinted glasses.
○ If you cannot remove your glasses for medical reasons, please include a signed note from your doctor with application.
● You cannot wear a uniform, clothing that looks like a uniform, or camouflage clothing.
● Take off your hat or head covering.
○ If you wear one for religious purposes, submit a signed statement that says it is religious attire worn daily in public.
○ If you wear one for medical purposes, submit a signed doctor's statement that says you wear it for medical purposes.
○ Your full face must be visible and your hat or head covering cannot cast shadows or cover part of your face.
● You cannot wear headphones or wireless hands-free devices.
● You can wear jewelry and keep on your facial piercings as long as they do not hide your face.
● Take off any face covering or medical mask so your full face is visible and the face covering or mask do not block portions of your face.
