If your head covering is required for these reasons, your face must remain fully visible without shadows or obstructions, and you must submit supporting documentation with your application. Always verify requirements with your local test center or official JLPT guidelines before submitting your photo.

Maintain a neutral facial expression with eyes fully open and mouth closed. Ensure both ears are visible, and avoid smiling, frowning, or exaggerated facial expressions. For full compliance, refer to the latest JLPT photo requirements.
