For everyone saying it’s fake because you can smile it isn’t fake. You can smile but your mouth should be closed. They will accept a natural smile but if it’s too expressive they might reject it
This is a part of my job and it’s because if you’re ever found deceased it’s easier to identify you. When I was being trained I was told “the more dead they look the better” and well as morbid as it is, it makes sense
True 😂😂 Wouldn't smiling be easier to identify someone through their teeth and face shape/muscles when asking to smile in person I feel like aging effects our smile the least right? It's not like the security at airports have a ruler measuring our lip length it's a general observation
Ye idk why but this is me everyday I’m near a cam this for family 😐and this for FAMILY pictures 😌yea the reason why I put 😌is not Bc that’s a smile it’s Bc whenever I’m near a cam I’m like closing my eyes and like 😒
Another reason is because our normal face is our resting face and it’s easier to tell who is who by a neutral emotion rather than smiling your mouth off. It makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
I just don’t wanna have a picture of me looking like a drug dealer when traveling. Edit: Thank you so much for all the likes and funny comments everyone!
It's more about video security. AI technology could more easily identify people based on an image/video when they're not smiling in their passport photos.
@@danielsmokesmids it kinda is. Any video footage could possibly identify you. But it's important to distinction the way it's used. In the US they use the technology to catch criminals, spies and terrorists. While in China they use it to monitor everyone.

Ah yes, now I know how we can't smile in passport photos! My passport photo looks just like 3 seconds after I had a horrible diarrhea! How fortunate and not embarrassing!
No, people do not not smile in their passport photos because of a microchip. Microchips are not used in passports to store the person's data, including the distance from nose to mouth. The distance from nose to mouth is not a security feature. The main reason why people do not smile in their passport photos is because smiling can distort the facial features, making it more difficult for facial recognition software to identify the person. A neutral expression is considered to be more accurate and representative of a person's appearance. This is important for security purposes, as it makes it more difficult for people to use false identification documents. In addition, smiling can also make it difficult to see the person's eyes. The eyes are one of the most important features in a facial recognition scan, so it is important to make sure that they are visible in the photo. Finally, smiling can also make the person look younger than they actually are. This can be a problem if the person's passport photo is used to verify their identity at a later date.
Also you *can* maybe smile in a passport, just without the teeth showing if that *allowed* i just wanna travel in the future & 1 day i wanna go to United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, Canada & Puerto Rico!! also i trying my best to become a Astronomer & rarely do science🧪🌟 i 11 years old & i have autism, i in the 6th grade & lives in Philly PA which is ok👽 idk about *true facts* so tell me if i wrong or not :)

@@millyvice4423 they just made me contort my face in the picture. They claimed they had no idea how to override it. It's bad. They made me pull my chin in until I got a double chin.
When I made my passport, the rule was to not smile with teeth showing. So I just smiled with my mouth closed, and I've been traveling just fine with the passport.
It's different from country to country. In Denmark you can smile without teeth showing as well, but as my dad is polish I know that it's very much NOT allowed there. So since I figured it was normal to not smile I just kinda went the same route and now look like I'm about to jump the photographer
That is the reason, a quick Google search will tell you all the chip does is let officials see a copy of what the passport originally looked like so they can tell if it's been altered

nah bro one time when i was very young i had to take my passport photo and when i barely even smiled, the dude taking the pic kept yelling at me to stop so i started crying and we had to stay there for 30 minutes retaking pics bc the dude kept yelling at me when i was “smiling” and making me cry which turned my eyes red. finally another person came and told him “stop making her cry or you wont get thru this” and he finally took a decent photo of me. i hated that day 💀
My passport photo looks like I’m a criminal. The lighting is awful, the saturation is atrocious, but apparently my library taken passport photo wasn’t good enough so they had to take it at the place instead. At least take a good photo, I look god awful ugly (I don’t wear makeup on a regular basis, the photo was just that bad). Ever since I got that photo, everyone always has to stare at my photo for a second longer to make sure it’s mine.

nah bro one time when i was very young i had to take my passport photo and when i barely even smiled, the dude taking the pic kept yelling at me to stop so i started crying and we had to stay there for 30 minutes retaking pics bc the dude kept yelling at me when i was “smiling” and making me cry which turned my eyes red. finally another person came and told him “stop making her cry or you wont get thru this” and he finally took a decent photo of me. i hated that day 💀
Damn bro😂😭💀
Damn I feel you
I'm so sorry
Your father shouldve srop kicked dude
@@The_Infamous_Bonker it was actually my mom with me that day lmao but yeah
Ok, we need to get depressed to take a passport photo 😨
Not smiling doesn’t make you depressed
That smile though 😂
In Poland we can’t smile in any documents, passports, driving license, ID, military booklet etc. but it’s not a problem, we don’t usually smile.
polish experience

Nawet nie wiedziałem , że nie można bo w Polsce nikt normalny tak porostu się nie uśmiecha na ulicy...
That's the same in Czechia as well.

I got my passport photo taken before I saw this vid, and I smiled. No one said anything
You can smile but as long as if it you didn’t squint your eyes to much
Who remembers the 1997 Mr Bean movie at the airport 😚........😂😂😂

I AM ALWAYS FORCED TO SMILE BY PHOTOGRAPHERS SO I ALWAYS LOOK LIKE I'M BEING HOLD AGAINST MY WILL
THIS IS SO TRUE
Photographers at school: SMILE MOREEEEEEEEEeeEEeEEeEEeeEeEEeEEeEeE
My passport photo looks like I’m a criminal. The lighting is awful, the saturation is atrocious, but apparently my library taken passport photo wasn’t good enough so they had to take it at the place instead. At least take a good photo, I look god awful ugly (I don’t wear makeup on a regular basis, the photo was just that bad). Ever since I got that photo, everyone always has to stare at my photo for a second longer to make sure it’s mine.
That just means youre ugly. I take mine with full confidence cause I dont give a fuck.
As a Spanish person, I’m glad to say that we’re allowed one of the few countries that are allowed to smile in passports
What country?

The airport security asks you for your passport after a 14 hour flight.
You will not be smiling
