About this photo
The Singapore Passport (Child) photo accepted by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) is a 35 by 45 mm portrait. If you apply online (ICA e-Services), the file must be at least 400 by 514 pixels, as a JPEG, no larger than 8 MB. Head height from chin to crown is 25 to 35 mm. Neutral expression, mouth closed, full frontal view. The background must be plain white, evenly lit and free of shadows. Home photos are accepted when they follow the rules, so a well-lit phone picture taken by someone else works. Send us any clear picture and you get a Singapore Passport (Child) photo at these measurements, background included, checked before checkout.
