Official Canada Photo Guidelines

Embassy, consulate, and passport agency requirements are rigid. Failure to comply is the #1 reason for passport delays.

Background

Glasses Policy

Allowed as long as there is no glare and eyes are fully visible. Allowed if there is no glare, no tinted lenses, and the frame does not cover any part of the eyes. We recommend taking them off to eliminate any chance of rejection.

Expression

Clothing & Dress Code

Wear solid, colored clothes. Avoid white or very light shirts as they blend into the background. Head coverings for religious reasons are permitted, but your full face from chin to forehead must be visible.

Infant & Child Guidelines

Babies must have a plain white background, and no parent hands, support structures, or toys must be visible. Eyes should be open (if possible), and mouth closed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about preparing, making, and submitting your Canada passport photos.

01Why are Canadian passport photos so large?

Canada requires a 50×70mm photo because the bottom portion of the photo must leave ample space for the photographer's stamp, address, and the date the photo was taken.

02Can I print my Canadian passport photo at home?

Yes. You can download our print sheet, print it on high-quality matte or glossy photo paper, and manually write the date and location on the back of one photo as required by Canadian rules.

03Can I wear makeup in my Canadian passport photo?

Yes, everyday makeup is allowed, but avoid highlighters or cosmetics with heavy SPF or glitter, as they reflect camera flash and cause white spots.
