Compliance Thresholds

These are the official measurements your photo must meet to avoid rejection:

Head Height

70% – 85% of image height

Printing Your Photo

High-quality photo paper. Face must be 27mm (+/- 2mm) from chin to top of head. Head centered in frame. Cut the photo to exactly 35 x 45 mm (1.4" x 1.8") — any deviation beyond 0.5 mm can trigger rejection.

A standard 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) print sheet holds 8 photos at this size — a cost-effective option at any photo kiosk or home printer. Leave a small margin between cuts.

The background must be light grey and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.

Submitting Your ID Card 35x45mm Photo

Japanese passport photos have strict face size requirements (27mm +/- 2mm from chin to crown). Many convenience stores (konbini) have ID photo machines that automatically comply with these standards.

Japan ID Card 35x45mm photos are typically submitted in person at a government office. Staff may photograph you on-site, but bringing a printed photo prepared to spec can speed up the process.

Photo recency requirement: Must be taken within the last 6 months.

For the most current requirements, refer to the official government source before submitting.

Common Rejection Reasons

  • Shadows on face or background
  • Face size not within 27mm (+/-2mm) requirement
  • Background not uniformly lit
  • Colored contact lenses worn
  • Head too small (under 70%) or too large (over 85%) relative to photo height
  • Non-neutral facial expression or wide smile
  • Red-eye or flash glare on face or glasses
  • Head tilted or turned away from camera
  • Eyes closed or partially closed

If your photo is rejected, most authorities allow resubmission with a corrected photo at no additional charge.
