What if you dont look like your ID photo?

Can you smile on ID photos?

Whether you are getting a driver’s license photo or a passport photo, you will be asked not to smile. It isn’t necessary, and you will be asked to pose again to have another photo taken. It is best to simply wear a friendly expression, the same one you would be wearing if you were pulled over.
