FAQ Passport photos

What size should a Swiss passport photo be?

Photos for a Swiss passport or ID have a size of 3.5 cm wide and 4.5 cm high. This also applies to your SwissPass picture. You can find more information from the federal government here.

What is a biometric passport photo?

A biometric passport photo, as used for the Swiss or European passport, for example, must meet EU or ICAO requirements. Biometric passport photos facilitate facial recognition based on the image.

Can I take my own passport photo?

In principle, you can also take passport photos yourself, but there are a few things to bear in mind. Since the regulations for passport photos are quite strict, there is a greater chance that the photos will be rejected if they are not taken professionally. If you still want to take the pictures at home, you will find some tips here:

Photograph yourself in front of an evenly lit white background and avoid shadows
Make sure your body and face are in a frontal position so that there are no shadows on your face
Basically, you should have a neutral facial expression, but a slight grin is allowed
If you wear glasses, make sure that there are no reflections (otherwise do not wear glasses)
Find out about the specific requirements for your passport photo (e.g. section size) on the website of the consulate of the country for which you need the passport photo.

What is the right passport photo format?

The format of your passport photo depends on the country for which you need it. In principle, however, the following applies:

EU & Switzerland: 3.5×4.5 cm
Great Britain: 3.4×4.5 cm
USA: 5×5 cm
Canada: 5×7 cm (must be taken in a photo studio)
India: 5×5 cm

Important information on passport photo requirements can be found on the website of your consulate.

Where can I find the applicable requirements for passport or visa photos?

If you are unsure about the passport photo requirements of a specific country, we recommend that you consult the official websites of the respective consulates. You will normally find the relevant information under the headings “Documents”, “Passport” or “Services”.
