  • Background: plain white. No shadows, patterns, or colour gradients.
  • Head height: roughly 70–80% of the image height.
  • Expression: neutral, mouth closed, eyes open looking at the camera.
  • No glasses, no tinted lenses.
  • Religious head coverings (hijab, ghutra) accepted — face fully visible.
  • Photo must be taken within the last 6 months.
