How to shoot it
- Daylight facing a window, plain white wall — see the lighting tutorial.
- Check head height against the spec above before cropping — it is the #1 silent rejection.
- Crop to exact size with the ID photo tool (this spec's proportions are baked in), print matte.
- Confirm current rules with the issuing authority — specs drift, especially for digital submissions.
