After all, you can now take the photo from your own home! Since you no longer need to visit a photo booth, the only thing you really need to do to start the process is to find a suitable spot in your property. The question is: where\u2019s the best place to take a passport picture in your home? This is what you need to know to make sure things run smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>Think of the background<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, you can\u2019t just take your picture in any old place like you would with a normal selfie. Instead, you\u2019ll have to position yourself in front of a suitable background. The official guidelines state that the spot you choose must be \u2018a plain light-coloured background\u2019. This rules out any spots where there may be patterned wallpaper or brightly coloured paint in the shot.<\/p>\n<p>Watch out for light<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s vital that you pay close attention to the lighting when choosing a place in your home. This is because your photo might be deemed unacceptable if \u2018there are any shadows on your face or behind you\u2019. If it\u2019s determined that there are shadows in the image, it\u2019s possible that your picture will be refused and you will have to submit another.<\/p>\n<p>Find somewhere quiet <\/p>\n<p>The actual passport guidelines don\u2019t specify that you should take your photos in an area that is quiet. However, it\u2019s certainly in your interest to do so! There are quite a number of rules to familiarise yourself with before getting in front of the lens and you\u2019ll need to focus on adhering to these as you pose for the photo. If you\u2019re distracted or struggling to concentrate it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll fall short of meeting all the criteria.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck!<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019ll find the process to be simple and convenient. The best part is that after you\u2019ve taken a passport photo that you\u2019re happy with you can have it checked over by Paspic. This will give you peace of mind that it\u2019s suitable, as well as ensure you have hard copies posted straight to your home.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:block;font-size:9px;\">Photo: <a target=\"blank\" title=\"Passport photos\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dm-set\/8800928343\/sizes\/o\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Passport photos<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96526303@N00\/\" target=\"blank\" title=\"Sarah G...\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sarah G...<\/a> licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Creative commons 4<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s never been more convenient to secure passport photos.
