Tips for a Good Photo

Good lighting

Shoot near a window in indirect natural light. Avoid harsh shadows across your face.

Plain background

Stand against a white or light-colored wall. AI removes it, but a clean background gives better results.

Face the camera

Look straight ahead with your head level. No tilt, turn, or chin up/down.

No glasses

Most countries no longer permit glasses in ID photos. Remove them before taking the photo.

Neutral expression

Keep a relaxed, natural face. Mouth closed, no squinting. A slight natural smile is acceptable for some countries.
