According to the U.S. Department of State, passport photos must show a neutral expression, with eyes open and mouth closed, as it aids in proper identification.
Facial expressions, like smiles, can distort recognition systems used in biometric passports, which is why maintaining a neutral expression is essential.
Tips for passport photos include not wearing eyeglasses, ensuring a clear image, and using a plain white or off-white background.
You only need to update your passport photo for significant appearance changes or when a passport expires, not just for minor alterations.
