How to read this table
- † — The issuing authority does not publish a print size in millimetres for this document. The figure shown is what PhotoSpec outputs at the required ratio. It is not a published requirement.
- ‡ — We hold this pixel size for the document, but we have not established what the issuing authority's wording requires — whether exactly that size, a minimum, or a maximum. The number is shown for reference only. We make no claim that it is a government-published requirement.
- Where we have established the requirement from the authority's own text, the table says so directly — exactly, a range, at least, up to, or preferred.
- Inch figures are converted from the millimetre value on the same row. A dash (—) means we hold no figure for that column.
How we label these figures, and where they come from
Where these figures come from
Each row links to the full requirement for that country and document, where PhotoSpec records the issuing authority and the page the requirement was read from. Requirements change. Always check the current requirement with the issuing authority before you submit.
PhotoSpec is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government, embassy or issuing authority.
Questions
- What size is a passport photo?
- It depends on the country and the document. This page lists the required print size, digital size and file size limit for 104 documents across 37 countries, with a link to the full requirement for each one.
- What are the dimensions of a passport photo?
- Dimensions are given two ways: a print size in millimetres (and inches), and, where the issuing authority sets one, a digital size in pixels. Both are listed in the table above for each country and document.
- Is the passport photo size the same in every country?
- No. Both the print size and the digital size differ by country, and often by document type within the same country. Check the row for the exact country and document you are applying to.
