- Avoid shadows on the face or background
- Keep the camera at eye level
- Remove glasses and hats

- Low image quality
- Face too small within the frame
- Background not fully white
- Use of filters or edited images
- Glasses covering the eyes
- Cropped or scanned passport images
- Old photographs
Checking the requirements carefully before submission can help avoid delays.
If the image fails one of these checks, take a new photo rather than trying to fix an unsuitable one.
