The Finnish Immigration pages has a series of guidelines for their passport and visa photos. I found this one regarding Expressions amusing.

i like the "AUSLEUCHTUNG" row 2nd picture -- Reflexion im Gesicht. i'm tempted to translate it to no oil-shine, buy a better face wash before you take your picutre :p i think it is more so that the facial recognition program can run correctly :)

Nice! I like how they have the big, red [x] next to the dude in sunglasses or the woman in the Burhka. Stating the obvious, it's important to see your face.
