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 Light blue background for passport; white for visa and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.
Submitting Your National ID Photo
Sri Lankan passport photos require a light blue background, which is different from most countries. Ensure you select the correct background color.
Sri Lanka National ID 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.
