Upload a recognisable head-and-shoulders photo showing only you, facing the camera with the whole face and both eyes visible. JPG, GIF and PNG are accepted; black-and-white is allowed. Do not use filters that change appearance. No numeric pixel or byte limit is stated on the public photo page.

Prepare and check your upload
This page does not offer an automatic preset because current numeric upload limits have not been verified, or the provider captures the photo itself. Follow the linked official process. If your application displays file limits, choose Custom and enter those values.
The checker verifies output pixels and file size. It does not verify identity, photo age, background, face coverage, ink colour, required captions or acceptance by the application. Keep the original and follow any updated notice for your cycle.
