Official Taiwanese passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationFor a passport issued by Taiwan, BOCA links photo preparation to recognition during travel, not just the appearance of the application. Its guidance warns that mirrored images and changes to facial features can interfere with identification. Preserve your actual recognisable likeness when preparing the portrait; good lighting and careful framing should reveal the face without reshaping it. This is particularly relevant when using a phone camera that may save a reversed preview.
BOCA provides photo-upload routes for applications handled at its offices, including the individual application and appointment system. A digital photograph still has to satisfy both the visual rules and the technical file specifications. Keep the original at adequate image resolution, inspect the background, and check that the saved image retains the same proportions as the preview. Preparing a file online and completing the passport application are related but distinct steps.
First-time applicants may also use the household-registration office service, while eligible renewals have a conditional online route. Choose the appropriate process before deciding how many prints to arrange. Have your supporting identity documents ready and use the photo requirements below for the detailed image checklist. A natural facial expression and current appearance matter more than reproducing an older passport photograph, even when that earlier image was accepted without difficulty.
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.
