How to take it at home

Stand about 1–1.5 m in front of a plain, light wall in even light; avoid shadows on your face and behind you.
Have someone else take the photo at eye level (selfies at arm's length distort the face). Look straight at the camera.
Keep a neutral expression or a natural smile. Both eyes open, hair away from the face.
Leave plenty of space above your head and around your shoulders. Don't use filters, beauty modes or portrait (background-blur) mode.
Open the photo tool: it crops to the exact size, places your head and eye line in range and checks the measurable rules. It does not change your background for documents that forbid edited photos — if the background isn't plain, retake the photo.
Download the digital file, or a 4×6 sheet and print it as a standard photo print ("fit / no crop").

The issuing authority makes the final decision on every photo; automatic checks can't guarantee acceptance.
