What Should I Wear to My Passport Photo?

When preparing for your passport photo, it's best to wear clothing that you would typically wear on a daily basis. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Choose Everyday Clothes: Wear something you would normally wear. Uniforms or garments that look like uniforms should be avoided.
  • Simple and Neat: Opt for tops with simple and neat designs. Avoid logos, slogans, or prominent patterns that can distract from your face.
  • Solid Colors: Solid colors work well. Choose colors that contrast with the background to ensure your photo doesn't blend into it.
  • Avoid White or Light Colors: White or very light colors might blend into the white or off-white background of a passport photos.
  • Conservative Necklines: Choose tops with a standard neckline. Very low-cut tops might not look appropriate in the close-up shot of a passport photo.
  • Avoid Headgear and Sunglasses: Unless worn daily for religious reasons, hats and sunglasses should not be worn.

Remember, the focus of a passport photo is your face, and your attire should not distract from a clear and accurate representation of your appearance.
