Official Ni-Vanuatu passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationA Vanuatu passport application connects the applicant’s photograph with citizenship evidence and an identity witness. The Immigration Department’s citizen-passport guidance asks for two recent photographs, with the witness writing the applicant’s name, signing and dating the back of one. This endorsement is part of identifying the person named on the form; it is separate from whether the picture itself meets the technical photo requirements. Arrange the photographs before asking the witness to complete the application.
Use matching prints from a recent portrait and keep the image free from damage while the reverse is completed. The department specifies a portrait format and photographs less than six months old. A clear recognisable likeness, suitable facial expression and balanced framing help the witness and passport officers recognise the applicant. Check photo quality on the finished paper copies, not only on the screen where the digital photograph was prepared.
Applications in Vanuatu are lodged through the relevant immigration office, with provincial arrangements as well as the Port Vila service. The supporting records establish citizenship, and a previous passport helps connect the new application with the existing record. For a child, parental or guardian consent also forms part of the process. Use the photo preparation guide to prepare the image and keep it together with the correct applicant’s form and supporting documents.

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.
