How to take a photo?

To get perfect shots for any type of document, use the following guidelines.

Distance
how to photo

Distance

Stand about 50 cm away from the wall. This will help avoid harsh shadows behind your back and keep the details in the photo clear.

Face position
how to photo

Face position

Put your face in front of the camera lens. Hold the camera at eye level. Maintain a neutral facial expression. This will help create optimal conditions for obtaining a high-quality image.

DV Lottery Photo Requirements (Diversity Visa)

The Diversity Visa Lottery (often called the "Green Card Lottery") uses an entirely electronic submission at dvprogram.state.gov. The required photo is a square JPEG that meets U.S. State Department biometric standards. Photo-Visa.Online auto-validates against the official DV photo checker tool before you pay — so you don't waste your one annual entry on a rejected photo.

Technical Specifications

  • Format: JPEG (.jpg)
  • Aspect ratio: square (1:1)
  • Minimum dimensions: 600×600 pixels
  • Maximum dimensions: 1200×1200 pixels
  • Maximum file size: 240 KB
  • Color depth: 24-bit color (not grayscale, not 8-bit)
  • Background: plain white or off-white, no patterns
  • Head height: 50–69% of total image height
  • Eye level: 56–69% from bottom of image
  • Taken within the last 6 months

Why DV Lottery Photos Are Rejected

The DV Program uses an automated photo validator before allowing submission. The most common rejection reasons:

  • File size over 240 KB — Photo-Visa.Online compresses without quality loss
  • Wrong aspect ratio — must be exactly square
  • Resolution too low (under 600×600 px)
  • Background not uniform white
  • Head too small or too large in the frame
  • Eyeglasses (banned)
  • Photo too old (over 6 months)

One Photo Per Person, One Entry Per Year

Each DV Lottery entry requires individual photos for the principal applicant, spouse, and every unmarried child under 21 — even if they are not immigrating. Submitting an entry with a non-compliant photo will disqualify the entire family entry. Photo-Visa.Online lets you upload and validate multiple photos in one session.

How to Take a DV Lottery Photo at Home

  1. Stand against a plain white wall in soft, even light.
  2. Take a selfie at eye level. Neutral expression, eyes open, mouth closed.
  3. Upload to Photo-Visa.Online and select DV Lottery Photo.
  4. Receive a 600×600 px JPEG, validated and compressed under 240 KB — ready to upload to dvprogram.state.gov.

DV-2027 Registration Period

The DV-2027 entry period typically runs from early October through early November 2026. Entries are free at dvprogram.state.gov — beware of paid services that claim to "submit your entry." Photo-Visa.Online does not submit entries; we only deliver the compliant photo file.

FAQ

What size photo do I need for the DV Lottery?

A square JPEG between 600×600 and 1200×1200 pixels, color, with a plain white background. Maximum file size 240 KB.

Why does the DV photo upload keep failing?

Common reasons: file over 240 KB, wrong aspect ratio (must be square), resolution under 600 px, glasses, head too small/large, or background not white. Photo-Visa.Online checks all of these before payment.

Do I need separate photos for spouse and children?

Yes. Each person on the DV entry — principal applicant, spouse, all unmarried children under 21 — needs an individual compliant photo, even if they are not immigrating with you.

Can I use a US passport photo for the DV Lottery?

Sometimes. The biometric standards are similar, but the DV Lottery requires a square 600×600 px digital file under 240 KB. A printed passport photo is not directly usable; you need the digital version sized for upload.

How much does a DV Lottery photo cost online?

Photo-Visa.Online delivers a DV-compliant photo from $5 — much cheaper than studios charging $15–25 for an electronic file.
