The One Color You Should Never Wear in a Passport Photo

The issue comes down to the United States Department of State's for passport photos to have a white or off-white background. "Because the background must be white or off-white, wearing a white shirt can make you appear to blend into the background and make it hard to see your outline," says David Alwadish, founder and CEO of ItsEasy.com Passport & Visa Services. Alwadish explains that non-compliant photos are the top reason passport applications are suspended or put on hold by the Department of State.
