Our passport photo experts have put together a list of basic guidelines that you should follow in order to make sure that your passport photos are compliant:

1. The subject shouldn't appear too far away
2. The image shouldn't be too light
3. The subject should look straight into the camera - not portrait style
4. Eyes shouldn't be tilted or closed
5. Avoid flash reflection on skin or red-eye effect
6. Make sure eye-glasses don't cover the subject's eyes
7. Face shouldn't be covered - also avoid hats or caps or hair across the subject's face
8. Avoid shadows behind the head or across the subject's face
9. Keep baby/toddler toys out of the frame
10. The subject's expression should be neutral
