Statute overview

About this statute

A passport application must include a recent black-and-white or color photo of the applicant’s face. The provision sets exact size and face-position requirements for photographs, including special pixel dimensions for images sent electronically to the police. Photographs must be taken straight on, with the head held straight and the face and eyes directed at the camera. The depicted person’s face should be neutral, with eyes open and no squinting; a small child may have the mouth slightly open when needed. Hair, glasses, and head coverings must not hide the face or eyes; head coverings are allowed only for religious reasons or customary practice.
