Specifications For Singapore Passport Picture

By Larry Bent


Every country requires strict adherence to the guidelines they set for official government-issued documents, including the pictures submitted with the forms. This is also true in Singapore. The Southeast Asian country requires passport applicants to conform to the picture standards set by the Singapore Passport Agency. Any slight change from the norm can result to the application rejection. So if you are applying for a Singapore passport, prevent rejection by following the photo instructions precisely, or have an expert photographer take your photo since they know how to take a Singapore passport picture.

The standard photo size for a Singaporean passport is the same as the size used in other Asian countries, also in Italy, Australia, and Britain, which is 3.5 centimetres x 4.5 centimetres. It must be borderless in sharp and clear matte or semi-matte texture. You would need to submit 2 copies to the Agency or give a 514x400 pixel digital copy in JPEG format in a CD. The file should not go over 60 KB.

When taking a passport picture, look straight into the camera and open your eyes wide. Don't cover or modify facial features, like birthmarks, moles, or tattoos, if you have any. The picture should show the top of your shoulder and your whole head. Your head should be straight and your face positioned in the middle, measuring 2.5cm x 2.5cm from the top to the chin.

Hats and headgears are only permitted to be worn in the picture if they are habitually worn for religious, cultural, or racial customs. And if you're wearing one, it shouldn't block your face in any way in the photo. Clear eyeglasses are allowed if they are also normally worn, but the frame shouldn't obscure your eyes and the lens shouldn't reflect the flash. You may not wear sunglasses or any other coloured lenses, though. Your backdrop should be plain white, but if you sport the same hair colour or head cover, you can use a slightly grey backdrop.

passport photo singapore requirements, which are similar with the visa photo requirements, are very strict. Any deviation from the standards set will be rejected. The Agency will even reject poor quality photo prints so make sure your photo is clear and has no discolouration or mark on it. You can take your photo yourself using a digital camera, but to make sure that your photo follows all requirements, go to a professional photography service instead.
