I am due to renew my passport, and need advice on how to set my shaitel so that it meets the US passport requirements.
Is it true that ears are required to show? I cannot seem to do so without a section of my hair exposed.
Can anyone chime in with their experience?
(obviously, if you adhere to my standard of hair covering.)
Thank you

They never told me anything about my shaitel. I took my photo at the place I made my passport.

I just wore my sheitel regularly. I don't know if US has any requirements about ears showing.

Thanks for replying.
Basically my question is if you had to expose your ears in the photo?

I just checked my latest passport (had it done within the last year), and my ears were not showing at all.

I could find no mention of ears needing to be exposed. They don't want anything including hair covering the face so long side bangs that cover part of the face would not be recommended.

I never had my ears exposed.
(I finally figured out why the Israeli girl wouldn’t let me leave her country! She couldn’t match my ears to the picture...)

Thank you all! I'm inferring that generally it is not enforced.

they told me about it at the place I took the passport pic -- she told me I had to show my ears and close my mouth ie not smile -- a new rule like a year old
was not a big deal and do not want to have an issue or redo it
could depend upon how recently someone renewed or applied

From the government's website regarding passport pictures. It does not say anything about ears being exposed. (In addition, you're allowed to smile, it just has to be a natural smile.) https://travel.state.gov/conte......html

no my hair was not exposed. no hair exposed as we hold.
you can do it in advance
I just gently tucked it loosely behind so ears showed like it was kind of draped in a loop so as not to expose anything but the ears
loose and everything was covered tho ears were showing
if I knew in advance I would do it in advance and trim and/or use water, hairspray, bobby pins whatever necessary to be prepared to show ears without exposing hair

Thank you MommyM for checking the site.
Scarlet, I appreciate you sharing those details. I guess I'll prepare per your description, as to be on the safe side.
It's possible photo shops request this as lifnim meshuras hadin..
