About Singapore Passport Photo Requirements
Singapore's Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) specifies exact digital dimensions of 400x514 pixels for passport photos, one of the few countries that mandates specific pixel counts rather than just physical print dimensions. The photo must be in JPEG format with a white background.
ICA requires the face to measure between 25mm and 35mm from chin to forehead. Glasses are permitted only if your eyes are clearly visible with no glare or reflection on the lenses. The expression must be neutral, and both ears should be visible.
For Singapore passport applications through the ICA e-Services portal, photos must be uploaded digitally. The system performs automated checks and may reject photos that do not meet specifications. Our tool ensures your photo passes these automated checks on the first try.
Common Mistakes in Singapore Passport Photos
Wrong pixel dimensions
ICA requires exactly 400x514 pixels. Photos at other resolutions — even the common 413x531 used by many countries — will be rejected by the e-Services upload system.
Glare on glasses
While glasses are allowed in Singapore, any glare or reflection on the lenses will cause rejection. Tilt your head slightly down or adjust lighting to eliminate reflections if you choose to keep glasses on.
Hair covering ears
ICA prefers both ears to be visible. If your hair covers your ears, pin it back or tuck it behind your ears before taking the photo.
Background not pure white
The background must be plain white with no textures, patterns, or shadows. ICA's automated system is sensitive to background variations.
