Photo PassMake my photo Use the document-specific rule
Do not reuse a passport preset merely because the application is from the same country. Card and residence processes may specify different dimensions or background requirements.
Residence and identity photo requirements
Residence permits, permanent resident cards, citizenship applications and national identity cards can use rules that differ from the country’s passport format.
Choose the right service
Check application stage
Some authorities request a photo during an online form, while others capture one at an appointment or request printed copies later.
Keep the original portrait
Save the unedited original in case the authority requests another crop or rejects digital background changes.
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.
