Reminder: Visa Applications Must Contain Valid Photograph

Example of an invalid photo

When completing the DS-160 visa application (with or without assistance from a third party), applicants must upload a valid photograph of themselves.

The Consular Section has recently seen many DS-160s containing photos of celebri-ties such as George Clooney and Brad Pitt, instead of the applicant.

The Consular Section reminds applicants that clicking the "submit" button creates your electronic signature, certifying that all information contained in the application is true and correct, including the photo.
