Printing Your Photo

Print on glossy or matte photo paper at 300 DPI minimum. Most home inkjet printers produce sufficient quality at this resolution. 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 White background only and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.

Submitting Your Passport Photo

Nigerian passport applications through the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) portal require digital photo upload. Ensure your photo meets the white background requirement.

Nigeria passport applications typically require you to submit printed photos with your application form at a passport office, post office, or consulate. Bring 2 copies unless the application form specifies otherwise.

Photo recency requirement: Must be taken within the last 3 months.

Common Rejection Reasons

  • Background not white
  • Photo older than 3 months
  • Face not properly lit
  • Wrong dimensions
  • Non-neutral facial expression or wide smile
  • Shadows on face from poor lighting
  • 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.
