Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Singapore Passport photo?
The Singapore Passport photo size is 3.5 × 4.5cm. The background must be White.
Can I take a Singapore Passport photo at home?
If you meet the size (3.5 × 4.5cm) and background (White) requirements, a photo you take yourself can work. Some countries and document types, though, require an in-person commercial photographer or reject photos retouched with editing software or AI — so check the official guidance before you submit. MONKOS AI removes the background and crops to spec automatically; where edited photos are not accepted, use it to check your size and framing before the shoot.
What is the background color for a Singapore Passport photo?
A Singapore Passport photo requires a White background. Shadows or patterns may cause rejection.
