And just fair warning: You will either have a clear student card photo which looks like a monstrosity, or a blurred student card photo which looks like a few pixels. The photographers are Satan.

My UoM ID photo is the only ID photo of me that has ever been remotely attractive. Whenever others see it they generally state 'that doesn't look anything like you' and I don't know exactly how I feel about that. >:(

Most identification places would have problems about you smiling in ID photos than you not smiling, so no.
