Taking Your Photo at Home Step by Step
The cited guidance requests full-face and profile passport-sized photos but does not specify a background or lighting rules[1][2].
Keep the camera at your exact eye level. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you instead of attempting a selfie, because holding the camera yourself changes your posture and angle. Stand a few feet away from a plain wall to avoid harsh shadows behind your head. Face natural light from a window so your face is evenly lit without dark spots. Wear everyday clothing that contrasts nicely with your background so your shoulders and outline are easy to see.
Printing at a Kiosk
The checklist requires full-face and profile passport-sized photos[2]. It does not specify a 4 × 6-inch print sheet or an exact crop size.
You can take this image sheet to a local store and print it as an ordinary photograph at a self-serve kiosk. Cut out the printed pictures carefully using scissors before you submit them with your paper application package. Use a ruler and a sharp blade if you want very straight edges on your final printed photographs.
