Singapore Passport photo requirements
| Print size | 35 × 45 mm at 300 DPI |
| Digital size | 35×45mm @ 300 DPI |
| Head height | 70–80% of photo height |
| Background | white |
- Digital upload: 400×514px, JPEG/PNG/HEIC, max 8MB, taken within the last 3 months — confirmed directly on the official ICA page
- Print size (35×45mm) and head-height ratio are NOT stated on ICA's current guidance page — but ICA's page does confirm hardcopy submission still exists ("printed photograph for hardcopy submission must be on a matte or semi matte finish"), so it isn't digital-only; the print dimensions just aren't published there
- A 2012 ICA media release once stated the face must be "between 25mm and 45mm when measured from his chin to the crown of his head," but that figure isn't repeated anywhere on ICA's current guidance — too old and unconfirmed-as-current to treat as today's official spec
- Must not be a selfie — using one causes delays
- No digital alteration or enhancement; matte or semi-matte finish if printed
