Photo PassMake my photo Choose the issuing country
A passport photo follows the rules of the authority issuing the passport. A US applicant abroad still needs the US format; a French applicant needs the French rule.
Passport photo sizes by country
Passport rules differ by issuing country. Choose the authority that will issue the passport—not your current location—to open the matching dimensions, background rule and source-linked photo maker.

Check capture restrictions
Some authorities prohibit digital retouching or background replacement. The selected page disables tools when the published source makes that restriction clear.
Confirm print and digital use
Physical millimetres and digital pixels are not interchangeable. Review whether your application requires an upload, printed photographs or both.
How Photo Pass reviews a document-photo preset
Every indexed preset starts with an identifiable issuing-authority source. The editorial review records the physical dimensions, digital dimensions, aspect ratio, background, head placement, file format, file-size limit and editing restrictions that the source makes available. The page displays the source and the date it was checked, so users can compare the current application instructions before submitting.
A preset is a preparation aid, not an acceptance guarantee. Lighting, expression, recency, glasses, headwear, image quality and the filing channel can still affect the authority’s decision. When the authority prohibits retouching, Photo Pass disables the relevant background or enhancement tools.
How to use this directory
Choose the country or authority that issues the document, then open the exact application type. The detail page confirms the rule before the tool and preselects the correct workflow. Choose a recent portrait, review the suggested crop, and create a digital file or print sheet only after checking the authority link.
If a destination page repeats a shared regional standard without unique local requirements, Photo Pass may consolidate it into one canonical guide. This keeps the search index focused on useful, differentiated resources while destination variants remain available for tool preselection.
