Preparing and Printing Your Photos
The listed sources describe printed photos for several applications[1][2][3][4][5][6]. A common photo size for many of these documents is 35×45 mm; check the instructions for your application.
Place multiple cropped photos onto a standard 4×6-inch photo template to save paper. Take this digital sheet to a local print kiosk and print it out as an ordinary photo. Cut the pictures carefully with scissors along the borders before you submit your physical paperwork.
Taking the Photo at Home
You can take your own photo at home using a digital camera or smartphone. Find a plain, light-colored wall to use as your background so nothing distracts from your face. Stand about one to two meters away from the wall to avoid harsh shadows behind your head. Ask a helper to take the picture instead of holding the camera yourself at arm length, because self-portraits often distort facial features and make your head look too large.
Make sure the room has bright, even lighting shining on the front of your face. Avoid standing under a single overhead light that creates deep shadows under your eyes and nose. Facing a large window during daylight gives soft and natural illumination. Look straight ahead with a neutral facial expression, keep your mouth closed, and relax your shoulders.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Many photo submissions face rejection because of simple errors that you can easily avoid. Do not wear heavy makeup, tinted glasses, or large hats that obscure your facial structure. Keep your hair pulled back from your face if it hangs over your eyes or eyebrows. Check that your eyes are open wide and looking directly at the camera lens without tilting your head.
Always check the final crop of your image before printing to match the required dimensions. If you are taking a driving licence photo, double-check that your head height falls within the specific range[2]. Print your pictures on matte or glossy photo paper without ink smudges, lines, or pixelation.
