Common Reasons Photos Get Rejected
Glasses
Wrong head size
Wrong background
Shadow on face
Shadow on background
Wrong background color — Kuwait requires a plain blue background, not white
Shadow on face or background — Photos with visible shadows on the face or background will be rejected
Wrong photo size — Must be 40×60mm (4×6 cm); submitting 35×45mm or other sizes will be refused
Wearing glasses — Glasses are not allowed unless you provide a signed doctor's statement for medical necessity
Headgear obstructing face — Hats, caps, or helmets that block your head-to-chin profile or cast shadows cause rejection
Photo retouched or altered — Removing blemishes, scars, or wrinkles digitally leads to automatic rejection
Non-neutral expression — Smiling, frowning, or any expression other than neutral will be rejected
Printing Your Photo
For mail-in applications, print your photo on 4×6 photo paper at any drugstore. Our download includes a print-ready template with multiple photos — you only need 2 for most applications.
Use glossy photo paper, not regular printer paper. When printing, select "actual size" or "no scaling" to ensure the photos are exactly 40 × 60 mm (1.6" × 2.4").
