Email from LSAC re: Photo Requirement? Forum

[carasrook]

Did everyone (registered for June) receive an email from LSAC just now about the photo requirement?

I'm paranoid it was sent to me individually lol

Nope. Did they send you an email reminding you about the photo requirement? Or was it in regards to the photo you uploaded?

Did it look like this? http://imgur.com/t93xLxX

Because I got it and it seems benign.

So it does sound like we can update our photos if we need to by calling.

Just got an e-mail back.

Hi HennessyVSOP:

Please review the information on our website concerning acceptable photos. It is difficult to give you a firm answer of whether or not your photo is within the guidelines of an acceptable photo, as it does depend on how you will look on test day and how the photo looks when uploaded and printed onto your Admission Ticket. Bear in mind that the purpose of this photo is for identification purposes only—we have provided guidelines so that the photo that you use on your Admission Ticket should clearly identify you as the person that is on your government-issued photo ID, and the person who is registered for the LSAT. Admission to the test will be at the discretion of the test center supervisor.

I would suggest printing your ticket once the option is available (18 May) to ensure that the photo prints clearly, and is not distorted. If you encounter a problem at that time, then you would still have time to change your photo.

If you need to change your photo, call Candidate Services (215.968.1001) or email LSACinfo@LSAC.org, and we will enable the system so that you can change your photo. You will only be permitted to change your photo once, so be sure that you read the information on our website carefully so that you choose an acceptable photo for your Admission Ticket.

I hope that this information is helpful, and please let us know if you require further assistance.

i couldn't find this information elsewhere, but does the uploaded photo have to be the same as the physical one one should affix to the admission ticket? or, there is no need to paste one on the ticket when it becomes available?

My understanding is that we no longer need a physical photo, but since I had mine printed anyway, I'm going to bring it since it matches what will print on the ticket. If you are bringing a hard copy, I recommend that it's the same photo to avoid confusion.
