How to dress for Passport & Visa Photos?

Some counties are very particular on how to dress for Passport & Visa Photos.
If you are taking passport photos for the following countries,
please check your country's specific requirements described
under International Visa and Passport Photos.
India, Jamaica, Hong Kong, Philippines, Iran( women only) and Saudi Arabia( women only).
In general, please avoid white clothing, because most background itself is white.

In winter, please avoid turtleneck sweater, because it covers your neck and chin.

In summer, please cover your shoulders, because what you will see on passport photos are
your head, neck and shoulders, so it looks pretty much naked on the photo when your shoulders are exposed.
Bringing a shawl to cover your shoulders is a gracious idea.

Some counties do not allow wearing eyeglasses, like French Visa and Mexican Passport photos.
UK(Britain) "recomend"s not wearing glasses.
We strongly recommend NOT to wear glasses. If you insist, you have to know that you are taking chances.
No big hair. Quite often you are required to have your both ears shown clearly( especially US Visa photos ).

No big earrings.
Some counties do not allow to wear earrings(like Philippines and US Immigration photos).
Let's keep it simple.
If you have any questions, please e-mail us.
No phone calls in foreign languages will be understood.
