Common Passport Photo Mistakes
Before cropping, make sure your source photo meets these basic requirements. Even the perfect crop will be rejected if the photo itself does not comply:
- Wrong aspect ratio: The most common reason for rejection. Each country has specific width-to-height ratios that must be exact.
- Head not centered: Your face should be centered in the frame with equal space on both sides.
- Incorrect head size: Most countries require your head to occupy 50-70% of the photo height.
- Background not white/light: Most passport photos require a plain white or very light gray background.
- Low resolution: The photo should be at least 300 DPI for print quality.
