from our customers

5-star customer service. I ordered a passport photo with them and I choose certain specifications that were likely to be accepted by the website where I was doing an application, for my surprise they didn't accept it, although it wasn't the Irish passport photo's fault as I had chosen the photo size myself, I still contacted them explaining the whole situation. Almost immediately I got an email back with a second photo matching the exact requirements that I needed and no extra charge for that. Absolutely fab customer service.

Irish Passport Photo

The photos required for an Irish passport application have to be taken according to a long list of very specific parameters. Achieving this normally requires professional equipment and skills, however, with a few tricks and the right passport photo app, you can do it at home.

So, if you need to get an Irish passport photo, in this post we will be going over all the passport photo guidelines and sharing a few tips on how to take them yourself.

Irish passport photo requirements

The Department of Foreign Affairs of Ireland has established a specific passport photo size and other rules to allow the registration of biometric data that identifies the Irish citizen. All of these specifications need to be followed to the letter, to ensure that your application gets accepted at the passport office.

To help you go through them, we have divided them into paragraphs.

Passport photo guidelines – size and format

Regarding the technical elements of a passport style photo, Irish authorities provide the following requirements for a paper application form:

  • passport photo size: 35 mm x 45 mm to 38 mm x 45 mm;
  • in sharp focus;
  • correctly exposed;
  • printed on high-quality paper;
  • high resolution;
  • taken in the last 6 (six) months;
  • no photo editing with computer software;
  • no creases or marks;
  • preferably in black and white, colour passport photos are also acceptable.

If you choose to apply online, you have to provide a digital photo for the passport application. A digital passport photo has different technical requirements:

  • at least 715 px in width and 951 px in height;
  • JPEG format;
  • no compression;
  • no filters or distortions;
  • 9MB or smaller.

Passport photo requirements in Ireland – the setting

Preparing the appropriate setup to take a passport photo is fundamental. Passport photo specifications are very precise about the lighting and background of the picture. Namely, you need:

  • plain, light grey, cream, or white background;
  • no shadows on your face;
  • full face visible;
  • no other people or objects visible.

Passport photo rules – pose and appearance

When you take a photo to apply for a travel document, you need to put special care into how you pose for it. Very specific requirements are set forth in order to capture biometric data from your facial features. To be specific, these are the guidelines you must follow:

  • the passport photo must show the applicant from head to mid-torso;
  • the head has to be centred;
  • leave visible space between the head and shoulders and the frame;
  • clear prescription glasses are allowed, tinted glasses are not permitted;
  • no head accessories allowed;
  • wearing a head covering is only permitted for religious or medical reasons;
  • the applicant must keep a neutral expression;
  • eyes open must be open and the mouth closed;
  • uniforms or clothing with insignias are not permitted.

If you wear glasses in your passport photo, make sure that the rims are thin and that the lenses don't create any glares.

How to take a passport photo at home

With today's technology, you only need a digital camera or a smartphone to take passport photos. You can get the correct size and meet all the requirements for a passport photo in Ireland without leaving your home.

First of all, find a well-lit room with a large window. This way, you can get the best out of natural light. When the sun is not fully direct, stand in front of the window and set the camera more or less two metres away from you. You can ask for someone’s help or use a tripod.

Stand still, make sure that you are following Irish passport photo requirements, and take the picture. Then you need to convert the photo into passport size.

Passport photo app

With our top-of-the-line passport photo editor, you can make a photo passport size in 3 (three) seconds. You can also make sure that you followed all the guidelines and perfect your Irish passport photo online.

You only have to upload the image and choose the document you need. After getting it to the right passport photo size for Ireland, the AI system will remove the background and substitute it with the required colour.

The picture will be checked in every detail, seeking out any possible discrepancy from the official rules. You’ll know for sure if you have a good passport photo.

Our passport photo app can even correct some mistakes, like shadows on your face or small hair accessories.

If there are any mistakes that the AI can't fix, you can just take a new photo. There is no limit to the times you can try, you will only pay for the ones you use in the end.

You can order the printouts to your address or download the digital photo, ready for the application for a new passport online. All this while saving up to 40% on the average price for passport photos.

Trust our app as the passport photo provider, for you and any family members. You will get a 100% guarantee of compliance with Irish passport photo specifications.
