disagree  Peter Smith: This is a very marked term, belonging to a specific register of slang and therefore not appropriate for many formal contexts.

neutral  Denyce Seow: I agree with Peter. "Mug shot" might be too informal for what Surfish is translating right now. Imagine seeing this on a prospectus: "Please paste your one-inch mug shot in the space provided". - You're welcome.. :)
