It\u2019s officially the social media generation. This means you are probably used to taking pictures \u2013 sometimes a dozen or more \u2013 with the intention of posting the results to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. On these platforms, it\u2019s become OK to be vain. However, there is still no room for vanity when it comes to the passport process. Therefore, you should be prepared to follow the guidelines exactly or risk major delays. If you are prone to the odd spell of narcissism, it\u2019s time to put your ego to one side. Here are four ways you can do this.<\/p>\n

If you wear anything that is deemed unacceptable on your passport photo<\/strong><\/a> you\u2019ll be forced to take it again before you can even think about jetting off on holiday.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no reason why your friends or relatives should have to see your passport photo<\/strong>. Therefore, if you go above and beyond it\u2019ll only be for the benefit of strangers at the airport. If you feel the need to get dressed up to the nines, that\u2019s fine. But don\u2019t try posing at an angle or smiling because your picture won’t be accepted.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not sure if your passport photo is suitable, then swallow your pride and ask for help. If you think you haven’t met the required guidelines, it is better to know before you send the picture off to be processed with your passport.<\/p>\n In the event that you do take a fabulous picture, don\u2019t go around giving it out. Not only will you need two copies for the official passport application, it\u2019s advisable that you keep a few spare incase they are needed for any further documents down the line.<\/p>\n The guidelines are clear when it comes to what is and what isn\u2019t acceptable for your passport photo<\/strong>.
