Submitting your photo online
Your submission should look very similar to a passport photo. No photos of photos! You're allowed a limited number of attempts. Carefully read and follow all the photo requirements below to give your photo the best chance of being approved!
Quick tips for success
You'll get the best results with a friend or family member taking your picture from a short distance, then cropping the photo to a smaller square size. Make sure that you:
- Sit or stand in front of a background that's a light color and completely plain—with no other shapes, objects, pets, or people.
- Face the camera straight-on and centered. Capture from the top of your head to the outer edge of your shoulders.
- Wear your prescription eyeglasses if you'd like, as long as there is no glare over your eyes.
