There are usually detailed specifications when it comes to photos for passports, driver's licenses, and the like. For example, bangs shouldn't cover the eyes, you should be facing the front, you can't have backgrounds of a certain color, etc.

Although it may be difficult to predict when you're going to sneeze, it's probably a good idea to take all necessary precautions before stepping into a photo booth so that you don't end up shouting, "Give me my money back!" at the end.
