100% acceptance guaranteed. Free manual options or instant AI editing with studio-grade background removal.
Follow these simple rules at home and your photo will pass the official checks.
Face a window in daylight. Avoid shadows on your face or behind you, glare and flash reflections.
Keep your head centred and level, looking directly at the lens. Show your full face and top of your shoulders.
Eyes open, mouth closed, no smiling. Keep hair away from your eyes and face.
Remove glasses, sunglasses, hats and headbands. Religious head coverings are allowed if your face is fully visible.
Wear everyday clothes that contrast with a light background. Avoid uniforms and white tops.
Have someone else take the photo from about 1–1.5 m away at eye level. No selfies — they distort your face.
Three quick steps. Your photo is processed securely and never shared.
