   When taking a passport photo, it’s important to adhere to specific guidelines to ensure your application isn’t rejected. Fortunately, the “dress code” can be flexible. Exceptions are made for medical or religious reasons. Here’s what you should wear:
    
   Clothing: Wear normal everyday attire. Avoid uniforms, camouflage clothing, or clothing that resembles a uniform. Religious clothing that is worn daily is permitted as long as it does not obscure your facial features.
    
   Headwear: Only religious headwear that is worn daily is allowed, and even then, it must not obscure any part of your face. For all other cases, headwear, is generally not allowed unless it’s for medical or religious reasons.
    
   Avoid masks, headphones and accessories that obscure your face, such as large hats or scarves.

   Digital image width and height dimensions are minimum 600 x 600 pixels and maximum 1200 x 1200 pixels. A bad-quality, tilted, or pixelated image won’t be suitable.
