| Printed size (width x height) | 35 x 45 mm (minimum 35 x 45 mm, maximum 38 x 50 mm) |
|---|---|
| Digital photo | Online: at least 715 px wide and 951 px high, JPEG, colour, not scanned, no selfies |
| File size | No larger than 9 MB |
| Background | completely plain light grey, white or cream, with enough contrast |
| Who takes it | Paper applications: 4 identical photos, 2 signed and stamped by the witness. |
Why there is no maker for this one: The Department of Foreign Affairs gives no head size, only head to mid torso framing, so there is nothing for this tool to crop to.
Good to know
- Black and white is recommended for paper photos; colour is accepted.
