    • Look straight ahead into the camera.
    • Hats, sunglasses, emojis, hands, hair, making faces, or anything obstructing\touching your face is not permitted.
    • You must be the only person in the photo.
    • Use a flash to eliminate shadows on your face.
    • Stand against a light colored wall for the background.
    • Think of a driver’s license\passport photo but with a smile!
