Photo ID background
Hi everyone,
I was just wondering, are there any background requirements for the photo IDs? The photo I want to send in has a dark background, but meets all the other reqs :S
Thank you!

All I remember is that it was a passport photo...if you go to Costco or Walmart (or any place that takes photos), they will take care of the background when you tell them it's a passport photo.

You can just take a picture at home on a white wall, print on photo paper and cut it to the right dimensions 
A light background is usually the basis of all photo ID pictures. |

A light background is typical, but not required.
Heck, I've seen people use their prom photos...

I just submitted a random photo I took in my basement without even a white back ground... Don't go out of your way for this you can even get your photo taken at the office.

Make sure your photo is as ridiculous and awkward as possible. Great ice breaker!
Or at least carefully choose your photo... it will be with you for many years.

Yea. All of you, the bus driver & titles employees will see it. I hope you're not taking this decision lightly. |

Invigilators for exams and midterms as well as CAs if you live in residence or need to be signed in by someone who does live in residence.

I had a blue background for mine. It definitely doesn't have to be a passport photo in the sense that you need a white background, it's just passport-sized.
