The digital photo should:
- Be taken somewhat recently (Within the last couple of years)
- Show only you—no other objects or people.
- Have a plain, light-colored background.
- Provide clear contrast between you and the background.
In the photo, you should:
- Face forward, looking directly at the camera.
- Keep a neutral expression or smile.
- Have your eyes open and fully visible.
- Ensure no hair obscures your eyes.
- Keep your face entirely visible, with nothing covering it.
- Ensure no shadows fall on your face or in the background.
- Avoid sunglasses or tinted glasses. If you wear other glasses, your eyes must be clearly visible with no glare or reflection.
