Official New Zealand laissez-passer photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationA New Zealand emergency travel document needs photographs that can be used promptly and clearly, even when the journey is urgent. If you have searched for a laissez-passer photo, check that the mission is handling the New Zealand emergency travel document described in form PAS207. That form asks for two identical colour photographs less than six months old.
The printed size is 35 mm wide by 45 mm high. The head, including the hair, should be centred with clear space at the top and sides, and must not exceed eighty per cent of the photograph. Check the entire outline rather than measuring only the face; high hair or a close crop can use up the space needed around the head.
The PAS207 form also asks for an identity referee who meets its conditions. The referee information and the photographs serve different parts of the identity check, so prepare both before the mission reviews the request. Follow the form for your circumstances, including a child’s application, and ask the handling office how the finished documents should be delivered.
PAS207 also asks for the applicant’s full name and date on the back of one photograph. Handle the prints carefully and do not attach them with staples or paperclips, which can damage the image. Use the mission’s current submission instructions to deliver the finished photographs without marks or folds.
Use the embassy and consulate directory to locate the New Zealand mission reviewing the PAS207 application and its photographs. The visa finder can help frame entry questions, but the issuing mission and carrier must confirm the proposed emergency-document journey.
Photo dimensions must be precise to avoid rejection. The face-to-frame ratio is equally important for proper identification.
Use a plain, distraction-free background. We replace it automatically to meet official criteria.
Proper lighting ensures your photo is clear and natural. Uneven exposure or artificial glare can lead to rejection.
Your face must be fully visible with a neutral expression for easy identification and facial recognition.
Glasses are allowed only if they do not obstruct visibility. Headwear is permitted only for valid medical or religious reasons.
Improper posture can lead to application rejection. Your face and shoulders should be correctly aligned and fully visible.
