Frequently Asked Questions

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

01Why does my hair have to be behind my ears for a Chinese passport photo?

Chinese biometric standards require a clear view of your facial features. Covering your ears, forehead, or eyebrows with hair will lead to automatic rejection by their system.

02Is jewelry allowed in Chinese visa photos?

No. Heavy necklaces, dangling earrings, large hairpins, or visible facial piercings are strictly banned in Chinese passport and visa photos.
