Time for a new passport? These tips will help you create the most flattering photo on your passport. Don't forget that for some countries your passport must still be valid for a few months after your return.
1. Practice at home in front of the mirror
Since you have to look at your passport photo with a neutral eye, our photos are a lot less flattering. It doesn't hurt to practice secretly in front of the mirror at home. View all requirements for your passport photo here.
2. Get the right haircut
The roots of your ears must be visible on your passport photo, so that the width of your face can be clearly seen. It can be helpful to keep that in mind when it comes to your hairstyle. In addition, your entire face must be clearly visible, so a lock of hair in front of your face is not allowed either.
3. Think about your makeup
It can be smart to powder your face a little, this way you prevent a shiny face from the flash.
4. Follow the photographer's instructions
A good photographer knows the requirements for passport photos and will take them into account.
5. Ask the photographer to take some pictures
Many photographers take a few photos, so that you can digitally see which photo turned out best.
