Passport photo specifications

You don't need to worry about the specifications. We will ensure that they meet the requirements.
  • Eye glasses should not be worn.
  • Scarves and other head gear should only be worn for religious reasons and should not obscure any of the face.
  • Facial expression must be neutral with the mouth closed.
  • Hair should be above the eyebrows
  • Teeth should not be visible.
The rules for children who have not yet reached their 6th birthday are relaxed. The mouth can be open with a non neutral expression. Babies can have their eyes closed up to one year old.
For individuals with mental, physical or behavioural problems, the rules are equally relaxed. Though, if the condition is not obvious in the photograph, you should include a note indicating the circumstances and this should be signed by the parent, carer or the subject's doctor.
