Specifications for accreditation photos

Colour photos are preferred.
Photo size must be portrait approximately 37 mm (1 1/2 in.) wide and 50 mm (2 in.) long.
The photos must be a close-up of the head and shoulders so that the face covers approximately 65 to 75% of the photo.
Photos must be clear, sharp and in focus.
Photos that are not acceptable include landscape, skating cards, sunglasses, hats and group pictures. Acceptable photos are clear individual photos of passport size containing your head and shoulders only. Please see samples below.

Note: The reason why your photo is stretched when you upload your photo to your personal profile is because it is landscape and the photo is bigger than needed. Photo must be passport size, head and shoulders only.

You can update your personal profile information including your photo at any time by simply logging onto members only.
