Have you not had a passport before?

MOST countries enforce a neutral expression.

They also let you just fill in whatever for height and weight, I'm surprised they even care about gender and age

Weird the last two states I've gotten a license in both had me either not smile at all or "only smile a little bit"

Not in Nova Scotia, a friend texted me a joke and I couldn't stop smiling. It was accepted.

The funny part is that this is an "unnatural expression" according to this gov website.

I wrote it in the description but people seem to miss it.

It is an unnatural expression though, a natural expression would be how your face looked without you trying to change anything. ie. a straight face

I think this comes a translation/wording issue. They probably mean a “neutral” expression, which is what your comment describes. I’d think of an “unnatural” expression as an exaggerated smile or something else off putting

No, "nienaturalny" literally translates to unnatural. Of course I know what they meant by that, but it's funny because life is hell here.

I wanted you to know I appreciated it.
