Photocopies are NOT accepted. Hats and other head coverings are NOT allowed in the photos that you submit to us (exceptions are those with religious significance). Graduations photos are not acceptable photos.

Prints on photo-quality paper may be accepted only if all other quality requirements are met.

Note: It is NOT up to the Test Supervisor to determine if the photograph is acceptable (the Supervisor checks to see if it is a likeness to the examinee). If the photo does not meet the required specifications, you may still be allowed into the test room but the LPI Security Committee may later determine that the photo is not acceptable and your scores will not be released until a fee and suitable replacement photo is received.

To find out the specifications for the type of photo needed to attach to the Test Admission Ticket, click here.
