Submitting a Digital Photograph (Image) 

 

You can take a new digital photograph or scan a recent (taken within the last six months) photograph 

with a digital scanner, as long as it meets all of the standards below.  DV entry photos must be of the 

same quality and composition as U.S. visa photos.  You can see 

examples of acceptable photos here

.  Do 

not submit a photograph older than six months or a photograph that does not meet all of the standards 

described below.  Submitting the same photograph that you submitted with a prior year’s entry, a 

photograph that has been manipulated, or a photograph that does not meet the specifications below will 

make you ineligible for a DV.
