Printing Your Photo

Matte or glossy photo paper, printed at 300 DPI minimum. 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 National ID (PhilSys) 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 National ID (PhilSys) 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.
