How to Take Your Photo

Face a window with natural light to avoid harsh shadows on your face. Keep the camera at eye level about one to one and a half meters away. Natural daylight from the front gives the most accurate skin tones and avoids the yellow tint common with indoor lamps.

Ask someone else to take the picture for you instead of taking a selfie. This keeps your head shape and facial features natural and clear.

Stand against a plain, light-colored wall so nothing distracts from your face. Avoid patterned wallpaper, posters, or bright objects in the background.

Keep your shoulders straight and look directly into the camera lens. Maintain a neutral facial expression with your mouth closed and your eyes wide open.

Checking Your Photo

Before you print or upload your picture, inspect it carefully on a large screen. Look closely at the lighting to confirm that both sides of your face receive equal light.

Check that your hair does not cover your eyes or eyebrows. If you wear prescription glasses daily, you can keep them on, but make sure there is no glare on the lenses and that the frames do not hide your eyes.

Use the online cropping tool on this website to frame your photo correctly. Check that your chin and the top of your head fall comfortably inside the boundary lines.

Printing and Cutting

If you are printing your photos at home, check your printer settings. Set the print quality to high and disable any automatic photo enhancements that might alter your natural skin tone or contrast.

Print a test sheet first to verify the physical dimensions. Use a clear ruler to measure the final print and confirm it matches the 26x32 mm standard.

Use sharp scissors or a paper cutter to trim the edges cleanly. Keep your cuts straight and avoid bending the corners of the photo before you submit it.

Common Reasons for Rejection

For a clear photo, use even lighting and look straight at the camera.

Check that your face takes up a clear portion of the frame without any heavy filters or digital edits applied to the image.

Other common problems include red-eye effects from flash photography, uneven shadows under the chin, and wearing hats or dark glasses that obscure your features.
