A recent picture taken within the last six (6) months
Taken in front of a plain background
One in which your body is oriented vertically, not horizontally
One in which you are alone in the picture with no one else visible
One in which you are looking forward with your eyes open and have a neutral facial expression.
One in which we can clearly see your head and shoulders only.
One in which you are not wearing hats or head covering (unless those items are worn daily for religious purposes, and in such cases those items must not obscure any facial features)
Free from glare on eyeglasses (dark glasses are not permitted unless you have a medical reason for them)
Taken with sufficient lighting that has no shadows
