Can You Have a Beard in Your Passport Photo?
Yes, you can have a beard in your passport photo. The key requirement is that your appearance in the photo should match your current everyday appearance.
If you normally have a beard, it's fine to keep it for the photo. However, the beard should not obscure your face, and the photo must still meet other standard criteria like a neutral expression, a uniform background, and no shadows on the face. It's important that your facial features are clearly visible for identification purposes.
