Smiling not allowed in US passport photos, the unhappiest passports on earth:
When taking a photo of a person [applying for a passport] "The subject's expression should be neutral (non-smiling) with both eyes open, and mouth closed. A smile with a closed jaw is allowed but is not preferred," according to the guidelines.. Smiling "distorts other facial features, for example your eyes, so you're supposed to have a neutral expression. The most neutral face is the most desirable standard for any type of identification," said Angela Aggeler, spokeswoman for the State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs, which handles travel-document guidelines.
