📸 Instructions for Uploading Your Press Card Photo

To make sure your press card looks professional and gets printed correctly, please follow these simple but important rules when uploading your photo:

✅ Your Photo Must Be:

• PNG format or JPGs only – no other file types.

• Max file size: 500KB

• Head-and-shoulders portrait (like a passport photo)

• Size: Should crop well to 3.5 x 4.5 cm

• Taken within the last month

• In colour, against a light grey or cream background

• With no shadows, no smiles, and a neutral expression

• Eyes open and visible, looking straight at the camera

• No sunglasses, hats, or filters

• No objects, hands, or other people in the photo

• Head coverings allowed only for religious or medical reasons

🚫 Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Uploading a Facebook thumbnail or a holiday photo

• Using a passport scan that’s blurry or shadowed

• Sending a 5MB file that takes too long to upload

• Taking a selfie with a dark or cluttered background

• Wearing glasses with glare

💡 Tip: If in doubt, use a passport photo app or booth.

Your press card photo helps verify your identity – make it clear, professional, and up to date.
