    No, people do not not smile in their passport photos because of a microchip. Microchips are not used in passports to store the person's data, including the distance from nose to mouth. The distance from nose to mouth is not a security feature.
    The main reason why people do not smile in their passport photos is because smiling can distort the facial features, making it more difficult for facial recognition software to identify the person. A neutral expression is considered to be more accurate and representative of a person's appearance. This is important for security purposes, as it makes it more difficult for people to use false identification documents.
    In addition, smiling can also make it difficult to see the person's eyes. The eyes are one of the most important features in a facial recognition scan, so it is important to make sure that they are visible in the photo.
    Finally, smiling can also make the person look younger than they actually are. This can be a problem if the person's passport photo is used to verify their identity at a later date.

    My passport has no Micro-chip. I still can't smile. Your logic has a counter example. Your turn sir.

    "Yeah that's not him. Here you can see his lips have a 2.7 cm spread but if you look at him standing over there they clearly have a 3.0 spread. Give em the death penalty for identity fraud"

    My passport photo looks like I’m a criminal. The lighting is awful, the saturation is atrocious, but apparently my library taken passport photo wasn’t good enough so they had to take it at the place instead. At least take a good photo, I look god awful ugly (I don’t wear makeup on a regular basis, the photo was just that bad). Ever since I got that photo, everyone always has to stare at my photo for a second longer to make sure it’s mine.
