Under "Ask a Stupid Question and Get a Smart Answer," we investigate absurd problems with absolute seriousness. For example, does a photo smiling in a passport have dire consequences?
Frankly, there is no law in the world that prevents smiling in the images required for documents, and there may be almost unanimity on the legality of the images to have a special status and background, and these recommendations are almost legal in all countries.
But in fact, why do we portray all of our documents as hunted people with persistently closed lips as if we are in distress or sometimes as a brutal sight in our eyes?
The Head of the Passport Office gave us the instructions that a person who wanted to show off a passport should not have distorted features as follows:
- A broad smile, turning around, ears visible, and so on.
- A natural picture of the face without tension or pressure.
- That is, you can't cry, laugh, be surprised, and try to tilt the iris of the eye toward or out of your tongue. In addition, if the face suffers "significant temporary damage," you must wait for the bruise to disappear and the bump to shrink.
Any distorted picture, even if it is by nature, this passport holder will suffer in some airports around the world and may be denied entry to a country based on the ineligibility of his documents for direct verification.
Consequently, it is a financial loss, travel costs, and perhaps denial of an important matter for something that is not worth it. Many young people sometimes ask that I was refused entry to this or that European country, and we don’t know the reason, it may not be the reason, but it may be one of the reasons.
