For The Image On Your Passport

By Hillary Mason


Among the most widely and not to mention, globally accepted personal identification form is the passport. The thorough verification process which goes into the application and issuance of a passport may be safely regarded as one of the reasons why that's so.

Different countries have their own specifications. But they share some common requirements too. For instance, the applicant's photo should be clear and recognisable. In addition, he or she must face front when the picture is taken. Both eyes must be open and both ears should be visible. The hair must be tucked behind the ears. An applicant can smile but he or she should make sure that the teeth don't show in the picture.

Child applicants are not spared from the set of rules when it comes to passport application. Their parents have to ensure that they remain compliant to them. It is required that the child's full face and facial details are visible in the photograph. Both eyes should be open too but usually, leniency is exercised when it comes to this rule.

The picture is an essential part of the whole process of passport application. You must follow the guidelines that vary depending on the country you are submitting your application to. Make sure to ask about the passport photo requirements from credible sources. Follow the specifications to the letter to avoid delays. It is advisable to use a professional passport photography service provider who already has an experience in helping their customers fulfil the same requirements as yours.

Since a studio will not just give you one copy of the passport photo, you may think that you are collecting pictures of yourself you may not find useful in the future. You are wrong in thinking that as you can find good use of those copies. Considering that the requirements are nearly always the same, you can use the extra copies for your ID card or for a driver's license.
