About this photo
The Kiwi Access Card photo accepted by the Hospitality New Zealand is a 35 by 45 mm portrait. Home photos are accepted when they follow the rules, so a well-lit phone picture taken by someone else works. A white or light grey or off-white background is accepted, as long as it is uniform and without pattern. Neutral expression, eyes open, mouth closed, looking straight at the camera. Head height from chin to crown is 32 to 36 mm. This one is still a paper process, which means printed photos and no online upload. Send us any clear picture and you get a Kiwi Access Card photo at these measurements, background included, checked before checkout.
