The main reason for delay in passport issuance is a bad photograph when submitting the application.
In 2015, the US Department of State received more than 200 thousands of incorrect passport photos. Submitting an application with an incorrect photo will delay the processing of your application and may disrupt your vacation plans.
Learn common mistakes and don't let them happen.
1. Glare on the glasses
In fact, it is difficult to take a photo without glare on the glasses. This problem is the most common. Given that with the 1 in November, the photo with glasses is no longer accepted, the problem will be solved by itself.
2. Too bright or too dark.
Photos that are too bright or dark will also create a problem. In the photo, your face tone should be natural and your skin color should match your natural one. Remember that using “filters” is suitable for social networks, but not for passport photos.
3. Old photo
You have the right to take a passport photo in advance, but not earlier than 6 months before filing.
4. Face size
When it comes to passport photography, you can forget about selfies. The passport service does not accept photos in which the person is located too close or too far. You can check how your photo fits by clicking on link.
5. Poor picture or photo quality
If the photo is blurry, grainy, pixelated or printed on paper that is not intended for photo, or poor quality photobud, it will not be accepted. Photos must be in high resolution and not damaged.
Now that you know the basic mistakes, you can avoid them.
