What Does Insufficient Space Around the Face Mean?

Sufficient space around the face is necessary to create a proper crop for a passport photo.

To ensure this, please zoom out as per the instructions provided in the example photos. It's important to allow enough room around the face, including the forehead, sides, and chin, to ensure that the photo meets the required specifications for passport photos.

Avoid having the face too close to the edges of the frame to ensure a successful photo upload and approval.

Here are some important things to keep in mind:

  • Stand in well-lit, even daylight, without using lamps or flash to avoid shadows on your face.
  • Face the camera directly with a neutral expression and look straight ahead.
  • Keep your mouth closed and make sure your hair does not cover your face or ears.
  • Stand about one meter away from the camera, and have someone else take the picture if possible.
