To successfully process your application, your passport photo must meet specific requirements. Photos that do not comply may result in your application not being submitted. Please review the guidelines carefully before submission.

    • Face directly toward the camera.

    • Neutral expression or natural smile.

    • Your eyes should be in the upper half of the photo (30-50% from the top)

    • Your face should be centered horizontally

  • Photo Quality:

    • High resolution; no pixelation or blurriness.

    • No overexposure or underexposure.

    • No filters or digital enhancements.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Multiple people in the photo

  • Smiling too broadly or making facial expressions.

  • Poor lighting (shadows on face or background).

  • Wearing headgear (caps, hats) without valid reasons.

  • Uploading a scanned photo from an old passport or ID.

Tips for Taking a Good Passport Photo

  • Use a professional photo service when possible.

  • Center your head within the frame.

  • Only one person should appear in the photo
  • Ensure the photo shows your full head and the top of your shoulders.

If your photo is rejected, please check first if these requirements are met and try again.
