A document photo is a headache of its own
A Papua New Guinea Passport photo has strict requirements, and a mistake costs time and money. We’ll show you how to pass on the first try.
It gets rejected
Wrong size, background or cropping — and the system returns the application.
Expensive and slow
A trip to a photo studio means a queue, time and €7–12 for a reshoot.
Confusing requirements
Exact size, head height, light background, facial expression — easy to get wrong.
Redo it all over
Rejected — take another photo, pay and submit again. Round and round.

Your Passport photo: what matters
A Papua New Guinea passport photo has to satisfy the Immigration & Citizenship Authority (ICA), the body that issues PNG passports and reviews every application. Their rules are precise: you submit two recent, identical photographs, head and shoulders only, taken in 'Full Face' against a light-coloured background, sized 35 mm x 45 mm. Get the framing right and your application moves forward without a returned form.
The detail most applicants miss is unique to PNG. The ICA does not just want two photos — one of the two prints must be endorsed and certified on the back by the same person who signed your 'Certificate Regarding Applicant'. That endorsement confirms the photo is a true likeness, so a digital file alone is never enough: you need a physical print that a witness can sign. The ICA is also strict about head height, requiring the face to measure 31.5–36 mm from chin to crown — roughly 70–80% of the frame.
The exact requirements:
- Size: 35 x 45 mm (827 x 1063 px at print resolution)
- Background: plain light-coloured, even tone (#ECECEC), no shadows
- Head height: 31.5–36 mm, face filling 70–80% of the frame
- Expression: neutral, mouth closed, looking straight at the camera
- Glasses: not allowed — remove all eyewear, especially tinted lenses
- Headwear: none, except plain head covering worn for religious reasons
- Recency: taken within the last 6 months and identical across both copies
- Common reasons photos are rejected in Papua New Guinea:
- Only one print supplied, or the back of the certified photo left unsigned by the Certificate witness
- Tinted or reflective glasses left on — the ICA explicitly bans tinted lenses and hats
- Background too dark or uneven, instead of the required light, plain tone
- Head too small or too large, falling outside the 31.5–36 mm chin-to-crown range
Upload any normal, well-lit photo and it is automatically cropped and adjusted to the exact ICA standard — correct 35 x 45 mm size, light background and verified head height — ready to print twice for endorsement. You see a free watermarked preview before paying anything, and every order carries an acceptance guarantee: if the photo is ever rejected, we redo it free or refund you. Check the preview first, and pay only for the final file once it fits.
How we make your Passport photo meet the official standard — Papua New Guinea, 35 × 45 mm
Every photo is prepared against the official requirements for your document — not a generic template. Here is what that means in practice:

- 2We check the background, head position, gaze and lighting, and flag glasses or head coverings that are not allowed.
- 3We match the rules to the specific document and country, citing the official source of those requirements.
- 4If anything does not meet the standard, you get a free re-do or your money back.

A digital photo is normal, and it gets accepted — Papua New Guinea, 35 × 45 mm
You do not need a trip to a studio. Authorities accept any Passport photo that meets the official requirements — what matters is the standard, not where the photo was made. We match that standard exactly.
The standard is what counts
Officials check your photo against the rules — size, background, head position and lighting — not where you took it.
Part of official processes
Many passport, visa and ID services let you upload a digital photo or submit a print — both are fine when they meet the spec.
Same result as a studio
We prepare your file to the exact official measurements, so it is accepted just like a professional studio photo.
And you are covered
If a photo is ever rejected for not meeting the requirements, we redo it for free or refund you.
