Taking Your Photo at Home
You can take your picture at home before you print it. Face a window to get soft and even light on your face, and avoid harsh shadows behind you. Natural light works best because it shows your true skin tone without creating strange glares.
Ask someone else to take the picture for you instead of holding the camera yourself. Holding the camera at arm's length can distort your features and change the angle of your face.
Keep the camera at your eye level and stand about one to one and a half meters away from the lens. Look toward the camera lens so your face is visible and your posture remains straight and natural.
Checking Your Photo Before You Print
Before you send your image to the printer, look closely at the details on your screen. Make sure your shoulders and the top of your head fit inside the frame with some space around them so you can crop them easily.
The cited regulation does not specify expression, mouth, or glasses rules[1]. Check with the authority if you need guidance on these details.
Taking a few extra minutes to check these small details can save you from having to retake the photo later.
Printing Your Photos at a Kiosk
The tool above helps you arrange your cropped photo onto a standard 4 by 6-inch photo sheet. You can save this file to your phone or a USB drive.
If you plan to print the photos, ask the authority what print format and paper to use.
Once printed, use scissors or a paper cutter to cut out the individual 3.5 by 4.5 centimeter photos carefully along the edges. Use a ruler to measure the cut photo if you want to be completely sure of the dimensions.
