    Do

    • Photos should be submitted in standard portrait layout (4 x 3 ratio). Do NOT submit square or panoramic photos.
    • Take the picture in front of a white or light colored wall.
    • Keep your hands and arms at your sides.
    • Smile for the picture.
    • Focus the camera from your shoulders to the top of your head - see the examples for approximate sizing.
    • Use a JPEG format image from a digital camera or scanner.

    Don't

    • Wear any hats, scarves or sunglasses unless they are worn for religious beliefs or medical reasons.
      • Wear any oversized jewelry.
      • Have an inappropriate facial expression.
      • Have any other individuals or pets in the photo with you.
      • Have on an inappropriate t-shirt.

    We strongly recommend uploading your school picture taken by a professional photographer for your Cardinal Card since it may already meet the ID picture requirements - no need to crop or adjust it. Photos that do not meet the required standards will not be printed.
