- Center the head with the frame.
- You should have a neutral expression and be facing the camera.
- Photo must be in color.
- Photo must represent the individual solely. No group, family, pet, or images representing anything other than the individual may be used. Caricatures, sketches, or cartoons may not be used.
- Images should be full face, front view, with a plain background.
- Photos may not contain additional filters or effects, other than professional retouching.
- Hats, or other headgear that obscure the hairline or could limit recognition of an individual by casting shadows on the face may not be used unless the headgear is worn on a daily basis for religious purposes.
- Dark glasses, sunglasses, or non-prescription glasses with tinted lenses are not acceptable unless required for medical reasons.
Note: There is an approval process for the submitted photo.
