Preparing Your Printed Photo

You can use the tool above to crop your picture to 35 by 45 millimeters as a practical estimate. The tool places the cropped image on a 4 by 6 inch sheet, which you can print and cut out.
Make sure your scissors are sharp so you get clean edges on your printed photograph. Keep the corners straight and avoid bending the paper before you hand it in.
Steps to Take Your Photo at Home
Taking your own photo at home saves time and money. Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the camera, and place the camera at your exact eye level. Facing a large window with natural light helps illuminate your face evenly without harsh shadows.
Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you instead of taking a selfie. Look straight ahead with a relaxed posture and keep your shoulders square to the camera lens.
The authority source does not specify rules for expression, glasses, or headwear. Check with the issuing office before preparing the photo.
