About this photo
The Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA) asks for a Jamaican Passport photo of 35 by 45 mm. A white or pastel background is accepted, as long as it is uniform and without pattern. Head height from chin to crown is 25 to 35 mm. Taken within the last 6 months. Jamaica's PICA asks for a plain background: white for darker complexions and a pale pastel for lighter complexions. This one is still a paper process, which means printed photos and no online upload. Our service frames the Jamaican Passport photo to these measurements, cleans the background and checks it against the rules before any payment.
