Headshot Photo Guidelines

Headshot Photo Guidelines

Please use the following guidelines when uploading a headshot:

  • Photographer: Stand about 6 feet away from the subject. Capture the subject from the shoulders and leave space above the head
  • Shadows: ensure the subject stands one feet away from the background to avoid shadows
  • Expression: make sure the subject has a neutral expression with no teeth showing
  • Eyes: make sure no red eye in your photos
  • Background Color: white or light-coloured
  • The format of your file must be a .jpeg or .png
  • Do not upload the photo from your passport.
  • Do not upload the photo from your current Utah concealed firearm permit.

If you do not provide a headshot that BCI considers appropriate, they may deny your application or contact you directly for a subsequent photo.
