Setting Up Your Lighting and Background

If a local card process asks for a portrait, use even lighting so your face is easy to see. Turn on soft room lights or stand near a large window for natural daylight. Avoid harsh shadows under your chin or behind your head.

The law does not specify a photo background. Ask the local office whether it needs a portrait and, if so, what background to use. A plain light wall works best if a background is required.

How to Take the Photo at Home

First ask the local election office whether a portrait photo is needed. If it is, follow its instructions for taking the photo.

The law gives no instructions for portrait photos, facial expression, or mouth position^[1]. Ask the local office for guidance if a portrait is needed.

Stand about two meters away from the camera or ask a helper to take the picture for you. Keep the camera at eye level so your face does not look distorted. Look straight into the lens with a neutral face.

Preparing Your Print Layout

Do not prepare a portrait photo unless the local election office confirms that it is needed and gives you the required size.
