Japan Passport Photo FAQ
What is the Japanese passport photo size?
Japanese passport photos must be 45mm wide by 35mm high (landscape orientation). The face must be 34±2mm from chin to hairline. The background must be plain (white, light grey, or light blue) with no shadows or patterns.
Does Japan accept digital passport photos?
For the online application system (currently limited rollout), digital JPEG photos meeting the 45x35mm specifications are accepted. For standard counter applications, printed photos on high-quality paper are required. PDFBro prepares both formats.
What are the Japanese rules for facial expression in passport photos?
Neutral expression required. Mouth closed, eyes open and looking directly at the camera. The face must be centered and directly facing the camera, not tilted or rotated. Natural hairline must be visible.
Can I use a photo with colored background for a Japanese passport?
Plain white is the standard and most commonly accepted. Light grey and light blue backgrounds are also technically acceptable but white is recommended to avoid any risk of rejection. PDFBro defaults to plain white background.
