Most common reasons passport photos get rejected
- Shadows on the face or on the wall behind you
- Head too large or too small in the frame
- A tilt or turn instead of facing straight ahead
- Glasses or a hat blocking the face, or a busy background
- A blurry or low-resolution file
- An open-mouth smile instead of a neutral expression
- A photo that no longer reflects your current appearance
Passport photo standards are strict. Our 100% compliant service sizes and crops your photo to spec, confirms it meets the rules, and keeps your real appearance intact.
Three things that get a passport photo rejected
A plain wall and good light do most of the work. Avoid these common mistakes and your photo passes on the first try.
Busy or cluttered background
Stand in front of a plain, light wall so nothing competes with your face.
Tilted, or looking away
Hold the camera at eye level and look straight into the lens with your head level.
Dim, uneven lighting
Face a window in daylight so the light lands evenly, with no harsh shadows.
