The facial image must be sharp, clear, and with sufficient contrast. Please avoid photos with
reflections or shadows on the face or with red eyes. The background should be neutral and light,
providing sufficient contrast to the face and hair (a neutral gray). Reflection from glasses,
sunglasses, or tinted glasses is not permitted. The eyes cannot be hidden by the glass frames.
The photo needs to be printed on high-quality paper with at least 600 dpi resolution; the colors
must present a natural appearance and skin tone. The photo must not have kinks, scratches or
stains.
