A clear passport photo, without the guesswork.
When a bank, authority or onboarding team asks for a photo of you holding your passport, the objective is simple: your face and the passport identity page should both be clear in one frame.
Make the first photo usable.
Face fully visible
Look toward the camera and avoid anything covering the face.
Hold the identity page open
Keep the passport close enough that the photo and printed details remain readable.
Do not cover information
Hold the passport by the edges so fingers do not block the photograph, name, number or machine-readable area.
Use even lighting
Avoid glare, dark shadows and flash reflections across the passport page.
Keep everything in focus
Both your face and the passport should be sharp. Retake the image if either is blurred.
Use a simple background
A plain background makes identity review easier and keeps attention on the required information.
Face + full passport page visible, readable and evenly lit.
Blur, glare, cropped passport, covered details or an identity page too far from the camera.
Identity documents contain sensitive personal information. Only submit them through the official bank, authority or secure channel requested for your application.
