Selfie Guidelines

The system will reject photos that do not comply, and you will need to submit a new photo.  From within the GET app, take your photo with your cell phone's camera following these guidelines:

  • Absolutely no professional images will be accepted.
  • Your photo must show just your head and shoulders.  Think passport or driver's license style.
  • Your photo must be of you and no one else.  No photobombing or group selfies, please.
  • Your head must face the camera directly with your full face in view, centered in the frame.  No side profile selfies.
  • Please remove sunglasses, hats, and anything else that obstructs the view of your face.  Exception: items used for religious purposes.
  • You must use a plain white, off-white, or light blue background.
  • You must submit a color picture: no black-and-white or filtered photos.
  • You must crop your picture as a square image.
