Compliance Thresholds
These are the official measurements your photo must meet to avoid rejection:
Head Height
70% – 80% of image height
Printing Your Photo
Photo paper, 35x45mm. Head height 25-35mm from chin to crown. 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 or light and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.
Submitting Your Passport Photo
South Korea is strict about digital retouching. Photo studios near immigration offices and government buildings are familiar with the specific requirements.
South Korea 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 6 months.
For the most current requirements, refer to the official government source before submitting.
Common Rejection Reasons
- Ears hidden by hair
- Background not pure white
- Heavy makeup
- Colored contact lenses
- Photo retouched or filtered
- Head too small (under 70%) or too large (over 80%) relative to photo height
- Photo not cut to exact 35 x 45 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.
