Singapore Passport and IC Photo Requirements
For online passport and IC applications, ICA's photo guidelines ask for:
- A digital photo of 400 x 514 pixels
- A jpg, jpeg, heic, heif or png file of up to 8MB
- A colour photo taken within the last three months
- A plain white background
- A neutral expression with your mouth closed, eyes open and looking at the camera
- Your full face, shoulders and hair visible, with even lighting and no shadows
For PR and LTVP applications, follow ICA's photo guidelines. Visa and student's pass applications need a JPEG of at most 60KB. Choose the matching photo type above before you upload.
How It Works
- Choose your photo type, such as Singapore Passport Photo.
- Upload a clear, front-facing photo taken in good light.
- We crop it to the right size, refine the background and show you a watermarked preview.
- After payment, download your digital photo and a printable photo sheet. A receipt is sent to your email.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of photo should I upload?
Use a recent photo taken straight on, with your face evenly lit and your eyes open. Ask someone else to take it rather than holding the phone yourself. Our guide to taking a passport photo at home walks through the setup.
Can I upload an iPhone HEIC photo?
Yes. The uploader accepts JPG, PNG and HEIC files up to 10MB.
Can I make a photo for my baby?
Yes. Babies follow the same ICA rules as adults. See our baby passport photo guide for tips on photographing newborns at home.
What do I get after paying?
A digital photo without the watermark, which you can use for online applications, and a photo sheet you can print. You can also adjust brightness and contrast before downloading.
