Compliance Thresholds

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

Head Height

60% – 75% of image height

Printing Your Photo

Matte or glossy photo paper, printed at 300 DPI minimum. Cut the photo to exactly 25 x 25 mm (1.0" x 1.0") — any deviation beyond 0.5 mm can trigger rejection.

A standard 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) print sheet holds 24 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 plain white and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.

Submitting Your ID Card Photo

DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) offices take passport photos on-site during appointments. For PhilSys National ID, photos are captured at registration centers.

Philippines ID Card 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

  • Glasses worn
  • Background not white
  • Earrings or accessories obscuring face
  • Photo out of focus
  • Head too small (under 60%) or too large (over 75%) relative to photo height
  • Photo not cut to exact 25 x 25 mm 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.
