How do I make this photo?

  1. Keep the preselected United States of America Work permit preset.
  2. Choose a recent, clear portrait with one front-facing subject.
  3. Review the automatic head is 50–69% of image height framing and keep the background plain white or off-white.
  4. Use only edits permitted by the issuing authority, then export the 600 × 600px JPEG.

What should I check before submission?

  • Confirm the portrait represents the applicant’s current appearance.
  • Check both eyes are visible and avoid blur, glare, hard shadows or covered facial features.
  • Compare the exported crop with the authority source; correct dimensions alone do not guarantee acceptance.
  • Keep the original background and do not retouch or digitally enhance the portrait.

What file will Photo Pass create?

The digital download is a JPEG cropped to 600 × 600 pixels. You can also prepare a 300 DPI A4, A5 or 6 × 4 inch print sheet using the physical 51 × 51 mm size. Review printer scaling and disable “fit to page” when exact physical dimensions are required.

Who reviewed this requirement?

The Photo Pass editorial team checked the preset against the linked issuing-authority material on 15 July 2026. The review covers dimensions, background, head placement, format, file-size limits and stated editing restrictions. Requirements can change, so the authority source remains the final reference.

Read the verification methodology or report an inaccurate requirement.

Why might a correctly sized photo be rejected?

Common causes include an old or altered portrait, an incorrect expression, closed or obscured eyes, uneven lighting, a visible shadow, low resolution, an unapproved background or a crop that does not match the required head position. Application channels can also impose a different file limit or capture process.

Country and application context

What is specific to this work permit?

United States applications distinguish carefully between a technically valid digital file and an acceptable portrait. State Department and USCIS instructions can also differ by filing channel, so keep the unedited original and check the current form or online application immediately before filing.

Work-permit and employment-authorization forms can request printed passport-style photos even when the broader application is electronic. Read the current form instructions for quantity, reverse-side notes and filing method before printing a sheet.
