Instructions

To submit an ID photo, you will need the following: a mobile device (smart phone or tablet) or a computer with a web cam, a light-colored solid background, a photo-ID to verify your identity (driver’s license or passport), and your MyACU log-in credentials.

You can submit your ID pic by:

  • Uploading a photo from your computer.
  • Taking a photo with your webcam or mobile device.


Your ID pic must follow these guidelines:

  • Be of you and only you. No friends or floating heads, please.
  • You must face the camera and look straight ahead.
  • No sunglasses, hats, or any other garments/accessories that block your face.
  • Be centered on your face. No body shots.
  • Have a light, neutral-colored background.
  • Be a colored photo without red eye or reflection. No black and white pics.
  • Must not be wearing anything with inappropriate content.
  • Please smile.
  • Only one pending submission is allowed at a time. You can replace a pending submission with a new submission and your previous photo will be removed.

FAQs and Common Problems

1. My picture is upside down or sideways. 

Try orienting your device differently when you snap your picture; generally, the camera part of your device needs to be on your right to work correctly. If that doesn’t work, you can send your picture to your computer (via e-mail, Bluetooth, or direct connection cable) and try the submission again.

2. How do I know if my picture was accepted or rejected? 

It will take us 24 hours to review your submitted photo. You can return to the myID site and view the status of your submission at any time.
