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.
