Guidelines for Wearing a Scarf in Passport Photos

A scarf or a tie is a long piece of cloth that is worn around the neck. Scarves are often made of wool or cotton and are primarily used to keep oneself warm.

Types of Scarfs

There are different types of scarves that serve different purposes:

• Foulards are scarves worn as fashion accessories, often part of a suit, and typically made of silk or polyester. These scarves come in various designs and prints, adding a stylish touch to an outfit.
• Club scarves are popular among football fans who wear them in the team colors with the team name or slogan on them. These scarves are a way for fans to show their support and pride for their team.
• Stoles are long and wide women's scarves that can be made of various materials, including fur. They can be draped over the shoulders to add a stylish touch to an outfit or used to keep warm in colder climates.
• Shawls are triangular scarves that can be draped over the shoulder, wrapped around the neck or tied at the front. They come in various styles and materials, such as wool, cashmere, silk, and cotton. These scarves are versatile and can be worn for both casual and formal occasions.

Rules for Wearing Scarfs in Passport Photos

While passport photo requirements do not mention scarves, it is generally acceptable to wear one as long as it does not cover the face.

The scarf should only cover the neck and collarbone to ensure a clear image of the face.
