Good Question 

As far as I know there is no stated rule saying that you can not submit a smiling photograph, but it is advised that you dont do so for passport and visa photos..

Usually a neutral look has been suggested in photograph which can portray major part of front facing with a recommended head chin appearance ratio (better with off glass/spectacle) so far I know. For details  you can also refer to the OP6 manual in which a Instruction to photographer page has been added.

Hi R.R,

Check this link,it says

•The face must be square to the camera with a neutral expression, neither frowning nor smiling, with the mouth closed.
•If the photographs do not meet the specifications, you will have to provide new photographs before your application can be  processed
