Taiwan Passport Photo Specifications (BOCA)

The Bureau of Consular Affairs (BOCA) of the Republic of China issues Taiwanese passports using a 35×45mm photo (commonly called "2 inch" 兩吋 in Taiwanese photo studios). The head height requirement is stricter than most ICAO standards.

  • Size: 35×45mm (413×531px at 300 DPI) — referred to as 2 inch (兩吋) locally.
  • Background: plain white. No patterns or colour gradients.
  • Head height: 32–36mm chin to crown (71–80% of image height).
  • Expression: neutral, mouth closed, eyes open and looking at the camera.
  • No glasses, no tinted lenses.
  • Photo must be taken within the last 6 months.
  • Hair must not cover the eyes, eyebrows, or face outline.

Taiwan Passport Photo Used for ROC Documents

The 35×45mm "2 inch" photo standard is also used for the Taiwan ID Card, Driver's License renewal, and many household registration office submissions.

  • ROC passport — issued by BOCA.
  • Taiwan ID Card (身分證) — for citizens.
  • Driver's License renewal.
  • Household registration applications.
