Photos in which the face of the person being photographed is not in focus will not be accepted.
Photos in which the person being photographed is wearing sunglasses or other paraphernalia which detracts from the face will not be accepted.
Photos of applicants wearing head coverings or hats are only acceptable due to religious beliefs, and even then, may not obscure any portion of the face of the applicant. Photos of applicants with tribal or other headgear not specifically religious in nature are not acceptable. Photos of military, airline or other personnel wearing hats will not be accepted.

In addition, digital photographs must meet the following specifications:
