Remember the following when you come to have your passport photo taken:

  • Wear dark coloured clothing.
    Light clothing will make you look pale with the required white background.

  • Avoid excessive make-up and large shiny jewellery.
    Reducing glare and hot spots is the key to a good photograph.

  • Keep a neutral face when taking your photo.
    To avoid frowning, think pleasant thoughts.

  • Keep your mouth closed and lips together when taking your photo.

  • Remove glasses whether prescription or tinted.
    The passport office requires a clear and unobstructed view of your eyes

  • Relax, it's only a passport photograph.
    It's digital, we can always take it again!!
