“must be around 70% of the photo's total height”
Common mistakes
- A head that is too small or too large. It must be 50 to 69 % of the photo height, chin to the top of the hair.
- A busy or uneven background, or one that isn't white.
- Glare on glasses, or frames that cover the eyes.
- A smile with the mouth open, or any expression that isn't neutral.
- An old photo. It must be taken in the last 6 months.
- A file of the wrong size or type. It must be: up to 3 MB, JPEG.
- A photo that was retouched, filtered or had its background replaced.
PassPic can't measure some things, so check them yourself: glasses, head coverings and hair over the eyes.
How PassPic helps
PassPic checks your photo against these rules on your phone and marks each check Passed, Check or Fix, with a one-line tip. It crops and scales the photo to size and never changes your face or your background. Your photo is checked on your phone and never uploaded.
PassPic is coming to Google Play.
We can't promise that any office will accept a photo; the issuing authority decides. Rules change, so read singapore.thaiembassy.org before you send your photo. PassPic is an independent app. Not affiliated with any government.
