Frequently asked questions
1. What are the standard dimensions for a Chinese passport photo?
The photo must be 33 mm x 48 mm (width x height). Your face should occupy 70-80% of the photo, with a clear view from the top of the head to the shoulders.
2. Is a white background mandatory for Chinese passport photos?
Yes, the background must be pure white without shadows, patterns, or textures. Avoid off-white or colored backgrounds.
3. Can I wear glasses in my Chinese passport photo?
No glasses are allowed, even if prescription. Ensure your eyes are fully visible, with no glare or reflections. Contact lenses are permitted if they don’t alter eye color.
4. Are religious head coverings or hats permitted?
Head coverings are only allowed for religious reasons, and your full face must still be visible (forehead to chin, both cheeks). Non-religious hats or caps are prohibited.
5. Should I smile or keep a neutral expression?
A neutral facial expression is required. Keep your mouth closed, eyes open, and avoid smiling, frowning, or raised eyebrows.
6. Is facial hair (beard/mustache) acceptable?
Yes, facial hair is allowed as long as it does not obscure your face. Ensure it looks natural and matches your daily appearance.
7. What clothing should I avoid in the photo?
Avoid white clothing (to contrast with the white background) and uniforms. Wear dark or solid-colored attire. Keep shoulders covered; sleeveless tops are not allowed.
8. Can I submit a self-taken digital photo?
Yes, but it must meet all technical requirements: high resolution (300-600 DPI), even lighting, no shadows, and proper framing. Use a plain white wall as a backdrop.
9. How recent must the passport photo be?
Photos must be taken within the last 6 months to reflect your current appearance. Significant changes (e.g., weight loss, facial surgery) require updated photos.
