Frequently asked questions
- What is the Ireland passport photo size?
- 35mm x 45mm, with your face (chin to crown) taking up 32-36mm, or roughly 70-80% of the photo height.
- What is the minimum pixel size for an Ireland passport photo?
- At least 715 x 951 pixels for a digital upload via Passport Online, in JPEG format, under 9MB.
- What background does an Ireland passport photo need?
- Plain white, light grey, or cream - Ireland allows some flexibility here, unlike countries that require one specific background color.
- Can I take my own Ireland passport photo (selfie)?
- Officially, no - Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs guidance states another person should take the photo for you, rather than a selfie. You can still use a smartphone - just have someone else hold it and photograph you against a plain wall, then use this tool to crop and resize the photo to the exact specification.
- Can I wear glasses in an Ireland passport photo?
- Yes - Ireland allows glasses as long as your eyes are clearly visible with no glare, and the frames don't obscure any part of your face. Tinted or sunglasses are not allowed.
- What are the Ireland passport photo requirements?
- A plain white, light grey, or cream background, neutral expression with mouth closed and eyes open, taken within the last 6 months, with your face filling 70-80% of the frame.
