Photo ID requirements

When creating student ID cards the University has a specific set of photo requirements that must be adhered to by students.

For students using CaptureME, the photo that you upload must:

Be of passport photo quality and standard
You must submit an original and current unaltered photo (Note: a fee will be charged if your ID card needs to be re-issued due to an altered image)
Be sharp and in focus
Clear, even lighting (no dark shadows or reflections)
Have a plain, light or white-coloured background
Have eyes open and visible (not obstructed by hair or glasses, no red eye)
For people who wear glasses, eyes must be seen clearly through glasses (no reflections)
Show natural skin tones (minimal make up only)
Show head and shoulders square-on and face looking straight into the camera (head is not tilted)
Show a neutral expression with closed mouth (not laughing or frowning)
When using your mobile phone to take a photo, ensure you look directly at the camera lens (do not look at your image on the screen)
No hats, headbands or other head covering (except for religious reasons)
No posing or signage etc.

If you do not adhere to the above requirements, your student ID card will not be approved.
