Why Is It Indicated That My Mouth Is Not Closed?

This issue typically arises when the photo is improperly lit, causing the passport photo software to mistakenly recognize the teeth or indicate that the mouth is not closed.

To avoid this, it is essential to carefully follow the provided instructions for capturing the photo. Additionally, thoroughly review the example photos provided for guidance on how to achieve the desired result.

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.

Ensuring proper lighting, proper mouth closure, and following the provided guidelines can greatly help in obtaining a satisfactory photo for the intended purpose.
