Eligibility check

Tell us about your background and we will tell you whether you can enter this year’s draw. Free to submit, and fields marked with an asterisk are required.

01About you
02Education and work
03Family and previous entries
04Which package interests you

Not binding, and you can decide after the eligibility check. Leave it unticked if you are not sure yet.

05Your photograph, optional

If you have a photo ready, crop it here and send it with your check. We will confirm the head position and tell you whether it will pass. You can also skip this and send one later.

What this checks

Dimensions, file size, colour, background evenness, exposure and focus, measured on the cropped result. Head position is set by you against the guides, because that is the measurement the State Department applies most strictly.

Your photograph is processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded by this tool.

06Anything else we should know

No payment is required to submit this form.
