Don’t take a “hot” passport photo
Your “hot” passport could be a problem at the airport.
The State Department said it had “seen reports of travelers experiencing delays due to border patrol agents facing difficulty in confirming their identity” and encouraged people to avoid makeup styles that “significantly alter” the way their faces look. Entry to other countries may be delayed, it said, if officials were not confident that the photo depicted the traveler in front of them.
Passport photos must be an “accurate likeness” of the traveler, according to federal regulations and the International Civil Aviation Organization. The rules for passports, which tend to be stricter than for driver’s licenses, call for a neutral expression, a clear image, no filters, and a white or off-white background.
