- Keep your hair neat.
- Don't wear too much makeup.
- Don't smile too much.
- Wear your glasses.
- Be on time.
Use a mobile app
Just take a picture with your phone. There are plenty of passport apps available for both iOS and Android users, though our favorite is Passport Photo Creator (iOS, Android). The app displays an outline using your smartphone's front or rear camera, which helps you better position your face and body.A picture is not “ID”. A bar is less likely to accept a picture, since they are legally bound to verify the age of anyone consuming alcohol, and a picture does not meet the legal standard. A police officer would be breaking the law himself if he accepted a picture when a real license is required.
Wear your glasses
If you are required to wear glasses when you are driving, then make sure that you are wearing them when you have your identification photo taken. Your driver's license will state your eye color, and they need to be the same color in the photo as they are in reality.Places to Get a Passport Photo
