Passport Photo Requirements
IDW500 User Guide
Use the following guidelines when taking passport photos:
Place the subject in front of a white or off-white background with no texture or pattern.
Have the subject stand close to the background to minimize shadows.
Have the subject remove or adjust anything that covers the face – eyeglasses, hats, hair in the face, head
coverings in the face. (Have the subject push the head covering out of their face for the picture. The head
covering does not need to be removed.)
If the subject does not want to remove their glasses, check the image for glare before printing. Sometimes tilting
the head slightly up or down will remove glare. Warn the subject that any glare on eyeglasses can cause passport
photos to be rejected.
Use the camera flash to reduce shadows if necessary.
Stand about 4 - 6 feet away from the subject. Try position the camera so that the camera lens is eye-level with the
subject. Use a tripod if possible to get a steady image.
Use the zoom function to adjust the subject in the template on the LCD viewer on the camera.
Verify that the subject is following all regulations as described in the previous section.
