What is it about passport photos? No matter how hard you try for a 'gorgeous yet neutral' facial expression, you always end up looking 50% murderous, 50% nauseous and 100% awful.

Well, next time you're heading to the Passport Office you might want to take your lead from Prince. The singer updated his US passport recently ahead of some concerts in Australia and New Zealand, and his photo is total passport perfection.

We can't decide what we love most about the photo, which the pop legend shared on Twitter earlier this week:

– His perfectly glossy lips
– That immaculately applied eyeliner
– The stellar contouring
– His glam silk jacket
– THAT POUT.

And, as Us Weekly points out, Prince's photo is actually well within the passport photo requirements set down by the US government; his face is centered, his hair is away from his face and doesn't cover his eyes, he's got a neutral expression and the photo was taken against a plain white background.

Thank you Prince, for this lesson in how to ace our next passport photo (or just our next selfie). Total game changer.
