Photograph requirements
Photographs submitted to the MCC must meet the following requirements:
- The photographs must be current, i.e. taken within the past six (6) months.
- The photographs must be colour (black and white photos are not accepted).
- The photographs must be passport-size, i.e. 50 mm (2 inches) wide by 70 mm (2¾ inches) long.
- The photographs must be passport-quality, i.e. full-face and very clear with contrasting background (light backgrounds work best). Scanned photographs are not passport-quality and therefore not acceptable.
- The photographs must be originals, i.e. not taken from an existing photo.
- If you are required to submit two (2) photographs, they must be identical.
Unacceptable photographs will render your application incomplete (see the Application Steps for the consequences of an incomplete application).
