LSAT Photo Requirements
When you register for the LSAT, you'll need to upload a photo to JD Services. This photo helps LSAC make sure the security and integrity of the LSAT is maintained. Please make sure your photo meets the following requirements:
The photo must be a recent and recognizable photo of only you. You must be facing the camera, with only your head and shoulders in the picture.
Your facial features must be clearly visible with no shadows or obstructions.
The background in the photo should be plain and should not obscure your identity.
The photo you upload must be a different photo than the one on the government-issued ID that you will present to take the test. (Do not scan or photograph that ID photo for uploading to your account.)
The photo must completely fill the 195-by-195-pixel photo box displayed in your online account during the upload process.
LSAC will retain your photo only as long as needed to assure the authenticity of test scores and protect the integrity of the testing process.
Note: When you upload your photo, you will be able to use our photo crop-and-rotate tool.
UNACCEPTABLE Photographs include those with the following issues:
Full body is in the photograph
Face is obscured
Sunglasses, dark lenses, or lens glare obscure the eyes.
Image is blurry, fuzzy, pixelated, or out of focus
Entire head is not visible; side profile is used
Other people are in the photo.
