Check the official requirements

This is a summary, not an acceptance guarantee. Some applications require an approved photographer, a digital photo code or a photo taken at the issuing office. AI changes, background replacement and retouching may be prohibited. Check the official rules before editing or submitting.

1. Check the official requirements and whether your application accepts a photo you prepare yourself.
2. Take a recent photo facing the camera, with even lighting and the required plain background. Avoid filters and changes to your appearance.
3. If self-prepared photos are accepted, use the matching crop preset and export a single photo or print sheet. Check the dimensions and print at actual size, without scaling.
