How To Take Your Photo

• You should take your photos on your phone. Work with a co-worker to help take your photo on your phone, then do the same for them.
• Photo Guidelines:
  • ID photos must be in colour, look professional and clearly show your face so they can be used to identify you.
  • Photos should be high-resolution, and have been taken within the last 6 months and reflect your current appearance. You are welcome to use photos taken for other ID cards.
  • Photo should capture from slightly above top of hair to middle of chest
  • Stand in front of a light-coloured, solid background
  • Face the camera and have your eyes open
  • A smile or natural expression is encouraged
  • Do not have objects or other people in the photo
  • Ensure the photo is in focus and doesn't have shadows
  • Don't use your camera's flash - ensure good lighting without a flash
  • Don't use any filters
  • Glare on eyeglasses can usually be avoided with a slight upward or downward tilt of the head

If your photo doesn't meet the guidelines, you may be required to submit another photo.
