ICA-style Singapore passport photo
Singapore passport photos are 35×45 mm on a plain white background, taken looking straight at the camera with a neutral expression. Glasses are not accepted. File size limits for online uploads are often tight (around 200 KB), so over-compressed or huge camera files both cause trouble.
The face should be clearly lit with no shadow on the background. Head coverings for religious reasons must show the full face outline.
Fitting the upload limit without ruining quality
Start from a sharp phone photo, then let PhotoGov apply the Singapore Passport 35×45 mm crop and white background. After download, check that the JPEG is under the portal’s size cap while eyes and edges stay crisp.
Do not stretch a US square passport photo into 35×45 mm — ICA checks proportions as well as background colour.
Photo tips
- Remove glasses and earphones before you shoot.
- Use even indoor daylight rather than a ring light that creates hotspots.
- Recheck file size after download if ICA rejects the upload.
- Keep hair away from the eyes and eyebrows.
Common rejection reasons
- File larger than the ICA upload limit
- Non-white background or visible shadows
- Square 2×2 crop instead of 35×45 mm
- Glasses, smile, or hair covering the eyes
