Photo Guidelines
Before submitting your photo, make sure it meets all of the requirements below. Photos that do not meet these guidelines will be denied, and you will need to submit a new photo before your ID card can be processed.
- Your photo must be in color, clear, in focus, and taken in good lighting. Dark, blurry, or shadowed photos will not be accepted.
- Do not take your photo outside. Direct sunlight can create glare or shadows that make the photo unusable.
- Use a solid-colored background with no patterns or designs.
- Look straight at the camera with your entire face visible. Do not turn your head or take the photo at an angle.
- Make sure the top of your head is fully visible and not cut off.
- Keep your hair away from your face so your eyes, forehead, and facial features are fully visible.
- Frame the photo from the shoulders up so your face is the main focus.
- Wear normal everyday clothing. Costumes are not permitted.
- Do not wear hats, sunglasses, headphones or other head coverings unless they are worn for religious reasons.
- The photo must include only you. Photos with other people, pets, or objects will not be accepted.
- A natural smile is fine, but exaggerated expressions or silly faces are not permitted.
- Do not submit a photo of a photo.
Important: All submitted photos are reviewed to ensure they meet these requirements. If your photo does not meet these standards, it will be denied, and you will be required to upload a new photo before your ID card can be issued. StarZone reserves the right to reject any photo that does not meet these guidelines.
