Passport Photo Checklist

Poor quality photographs are the main reason why passport applications are rejected. All our photos at Lombard Pharmacy are passport-approved.
1. Include 4 identical photos, no more than 6 months old with the passport application
2. Make sure they meet the requirements (see below)
3. Get the witness for your application to write the form number (found on Section 9 of the application) on the back of two of your four photos. They must also sign and stamp the back of those two photos.
Remember…
If you don’t make sure the witness signs, writes the form number and stamps on the back of two photos, you’ll have to submit a new application form and photos.

Passport Photo’s – the ‘do’s’ & ‘do not’s’

Pose

• Centre your head in the photo
• Look directly at the camera
• No hair across your face or eyes as eyes must be clearly visible
• The background must be plain and light coloured
• Make sure your facial features are clearly visible, from the bottom of your chin to the crown of your head
• DON’T tilt your head up/down or left/right

Expression
• Keep your facial expressions neutral (no raised eyebrows, frowns)
• Keep both eyes open and your mouth closed
• DON’T smile
Glasses, head covers and clothing
• Do wear your glasses (if you normally wear them) but make sure there is no reflection on the lenses and the frames do not obscure your eyes
• DON’T wear sunglasses or glasses with tinted lenses, unless they are prescription
• DON’T wear a head covering unless it’s for religious reasons
• DON’T wear a hair band.
• DON’T wear a uniform, civil or military (e.g. showing epaulettes, insignia)

Passport photo requirements

Size
The photos should show a close up of your face and the top of your shoulders so that your face takes up between 70% and 80% of the frame
• Minimum: 35mm x 45mm
• Maximum: 38mm x 50mm

Lighting and focus

• Photos must be in sharp focus and correctly exposed
• Shadows from the head must not appear in the background
• Good colour balance and natural skin tones are essential
• ‘Red eye’ in photographs is not acceptable
• A clear contrast is needed between facial features and background

Photo quality

• Photos must be printed on photo-quality paper at a high resolution
• There should be no ink marks or creases
• Digital enhancements or changes are not acceptable
• The reverse of the photos must be white and unglazed
• Black and white photos are recommended as they’re digitally printed onto the passport in black and white. But we also accept colour photos.

Infants

Lombard Pharmacy has a specially designed photograph cushion that babies or small infants can lie on. This facilitates getting an approved passport first time around. Please note that babies need to be awake for the photograph.
No one else should appear in the photo, so make sure that hands or arms used to support the child are not visible.
