Official Singaporean passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationA Singapore passport photograph becomes part of the travel document used to identify you abroad. ICA asks for a passport-sized digital colour image taken within the last three months. Prepare a genuinely current portrait before starting a first application or renewal, particularly if your appearance has changed since the photograph in your existing passport.
The photo guidance recommends 400 × 514 pixels for electronic submissions. ICA allows phone-camera photographs and resizing, while prohibiting changes that alter or enhance the person’s appearance. Ask someone to take the picture from straight ahead, then review the framing, background and natural facial expression. The detailed photo requirements below help you examine the result without overlooking overall photo quality.
Citizens in Singapore can submit the passport request using Singpass. Those living abroad can also use the electronic service or submit the overseas application form at a Singapore mission. The choice affects submission and collection arrangements, so keep the photograph and requested identity documents ready for the route you actually use.
Our Singapore page brings together related document guidance. The embassy and consulate directory helps locate an overseas application office, while the visa finder supports research for the intended destination. Check the portrait before submission: a file that uploads successfully can still need correction if its likeness or composition fails the passport assessment.
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.
