Indonesia Passport Photo Specifications (Imigrasi)

The Indonesian Directorate General of Immigration (Imigrasi) issues passports using the international ICAO 35×45mm biometric photo standard. Many applications now go through the M-Paspor mobile app, where the photo is captured digitally at the Kantor Imigrasi.

  • Size: 35×45mm (413×531px at 300 DPI) — ICAO biometric standard.
  • Background: plain white. Some older Imigrasi guidance allowed red — current standard is white.
  • Head height: roughly 64–76% of the image height (chin to crown).
  • Expression: neutral, mouth closed, eyes open and looking at the camera.
  • No glasses, no tinted lenses.
  • Religious head coverings (hijab) accepted — face fully visible.
  • Photo must be taken within the last 6 months.

M-Paspor and Imigrasi Office Submission

Most Indonesian passport applications now begin in the M-Paspor app, where applicants book an appointment at a Kantor Imigrasi. Photos are captured at the office, but bringing a compliant 35×45mm reference photo helps if the on-site camera fails.

  • M-Paspor — schedule appointment, photo captured on-site.
  • Kantor Imigrasi — main passport office in each city.
  • Indonesian Consulates abroad — submit a printed 35×45mm photo.
  • Children's passports — same size, with relaxed expression rules.

Top Reasons Indonesia Passport Photos Get Rejected

Common issues that cause Imigrasi photo retakes.

  • Coloured (red, blue) background instead of white.
  • Glasses or sunglasses.
  • Smiling or visible teeth.
  • Hair covering eyes or eyebrows.
  • Photo blurry or overexposed.
  • Heavy filters or beauty effects.
