I have to send in a form to get my student ID, but I don't understand what it means by "attach an original passport photo."

Someone explain please. Does it mean to go to the place where they take passport photos and take one and put it there?


Thanks~!

I'm not sure if they wanted an original passport photo or just a passport size photo... Nevertheless I had my dad drive me to the passport place at Walmart just to take a new one...
I mean, it's going on your student ID, so I doubt it matters but it's still nice to get a recent photo that's appropriate for your ID. (if you use one you took yourself your face might not be big/small enough)

Just any passport sized photo of your face (and since it's not for an official passport you can smile. I didn't, and everyone thinks I look depressed now >_<)

Don't facebook/myspace angle it. XD

Apparently some people just went to those photo booths at the mall (the one with the curtain in the back and they take 4 pictures in a row), and you could pass those off.


PS: You're stuck with that card. Make sure it's a nice photo.
I mean aside from everyone thinking I look depressed, I have triple-coloured hair in mine.)

Lol great, I wasn't allowed to smile for mine. Now I regret taking it at the passport place... geez dad, thanks.

Yeah, I thought it meant a passport photo so now I'm stuck with this HORRIBLE picture of myself for three more years...

LOL omg, can we please not discuss crappy ID card photos?! :(
mine is bad, too.

I had my ex take a passport-sized photo of me and for some reason, it's all blurry and crappy quality, lol.

I HATE my picture, argh.

LOL, I love Jeffrey Chan's picture. Classic.
and I definitely remember asking "why are you so depressed here?! Smile!"
HAHAHAHHA.

Anyways, definitely do NOT use a passport photo, since you're not allowed to smile or wear make up in those. O_O
Granted, I look like hell in mine, and there was no way I was using it for ID.

My best friend got lucky and actually got THEM to take a picture of her, at the Registrar's office in Gilmour. Totally lucky. >.<
Not sure if they'll do that, though.

Good lucK!

I'm pretty sure anytime you lose your student card they give you the option to have a picture taken in the registrars office, or keep the one on file. And if you deliver your new student form by hand I think they do the same thing (although I handed mine in way past the deadline, so maybe its only later in the year).

I totally remember when we were comparing IDs at the study sessions :p

Haha, my friend got hers taken because she showed up on the due date for the cards and didn't have a good pic, i.e. it was more of a body pic, and it was wayy too far away, haha.

On another note, if you lose your student and go there to get another printed, if you're lucky, you'll get a nice lady and she'll take a new pic.
Happened to my friend, haha.
Lucky! >.<
But another of my friends lost her card and the old bitchy lady wouldn't take a new pic. =/ :O

& I think we can alll agree that Marlowe has the best student ID card photo of life.
Model much?! >.<

It just has to be a passport sized picture, and it's really no big deal. Mine is my grade 12 school picture. Four years later and I still look the same!

I know of several people who handed in their forms on the first day of move in, and the registrar's office did their pictures for them. Granted, the line up was really long, and you have to take the picture they take. I think it's faster to just get one of your own and mail it in.

I went to the walmart passport place to get my picture done, but I told them the picture was going to be for a student card so they let me smile for it.

totally irrelevant but...

MONICA?!! Kyle's girlfriend, Monica?!

Dude, I totes went to a photobooth in the mall AND smiled. Get your hair and makeup did if needs be, you're stuck with it for life.

The box that we're supposed to put it in is very small. Am I supposed to put it sideways or just leave it sticking out of the box?

I just placed mine over the box, if its needed you can trim the size of the photo down a bit. I wouldn't worry too much about it though, I've heard they trim it/shrink it there if its too big.
