Official Passport Photo Guidelines & Requirements
Creating a valid passport or visa photo requires meeting strict international government specifications. Using an improper aspect ratio, head position, or crop will lead to document application rejection.
Required Standards
- Head Size Ratio: Your head (from top of hair to chin) should cover between 50% and 69% of the total photo height.
- Eye Placement: Eyes must be positioned in the upper two-thirds of the image, facing directly toward the lens.
- Background & Lighting: Plain white or off-white background with uniform lighting free of dark shadows.
- Neutral Expression: Directly face the camera with both eyes open and a natural, un-smiling mouth.
Common Photo Rejections
- Head Tilt or Angle: Tilting your head sideways or facing partially away from the camera.
- Glare on Glasses: Reflected light obscuring your eyes (most agencies now require removing eyeglasses).
- Incorrect Dimensions: Uploading low-resolution or incorrectly cropped non-standard pixel aspect ratios.
- Shadows on Face/Wall: Harsh overhead shadows behind ears or across the background.
