The latest stupid law has been enforced this week - you are no longer allowed to smile on your passport photo. by law, you must have a neutral expression.

Is there anything the government don't want to control?!

The answer if you are in Canada appears at the http://www.pptc.gc.ca/passports/get_photo_specs_e.asp

The the part at the end says"

Photographer

• Photos must be taken by a commercial photographer.
• The name of the photographer or studio, the address and the date the photo was taken (not the date the photo was printed) must be provided directly on the back of one photo (see illustration). Stick-on labels are unacceptable. Sufficient space must be allowed for the name of the applicant, the signature of a guarantor and the guarantor's declaration.
• Photos must be originals, not taken from any existing photo.

In the UK, inkjet images are fine but they must be at 1200 dpi, not the more commonly accepted 300dpi. And you must look straight ahead, must not smile, et cetera et cetera...(there are loads of "must nots" now on passport photo's. In the good old days you could wear a clowns nose in a passport photo as long as you could prove that you normally wore one...)
