Tips for Taking Your Own Digital Photos for ID

1. Always use a flash and a light coloured background.
2. Remove subject's hat and sunglasses.
3. Take the picture five to seven feet from your subject with the camera at the same height as the subject's head.
4. Take two to three pictures of each subject with your camera set to a medium quality setting (1-2 Mega pixels per photo setting if utilizing a digital camera). Each picture should be less than 200 KB.
5. Review the photos in your camera's view finder to ensure that there is no glare in glasses. To remove glare, back the camera up two feet and zoom in on the subject.
6. Avoid Picture It™ photo processing.
   Make a copy of the disk or CD containing your photos. Label both copies with your contact name address, phone number and the first initial and last name of each of the subjects. For example "G1.jpeg – Greg Burford".
