About this photo

A Papua New Guinea Passport photo for the Immigration and Citizenship Authority (ICA) is 35 by 45 mm when printed. A photo taken at home with a phone is fine provided it meets these rules; ask someone else to take it at eye level. Use a plain white background with nothing behind you and no shadow on the wall. Your head, chin to crown, should measure 32 to 36 mm on the print. This one is still a paper process, which means printed photos and no online upload. One photo endorsed on the back by the person certifying your application. Our service frames the Papua New Guinea Passport photo to these measurements, cleans the background and checks it against the rules before any payment.
