Passport Photo 3.5x4.5cm Guide
Passport photos are often checked for more than size alone. Review face ratio, background, and recency rules in the official submission guide before using the file.
| A common passport photo size is 3.5x4.5cm. |
| At 300dpi, that equals 413x531px. |
| Many submission systems prefer JPG or JPEG output. |
| Keep the face centered rather than pushed to one side. |
| Check that headroom and chin spacing look balanced. |
| Make sure hair does not cover the eyebrows or facial contour, and that the full face from forehead to chin is clearly visible. |
| Review whether the background and clothing contrast still look acceptable. |
| Confirm whether a recent photo is required. |
| Avoid heavily filtered images or photos with strong shadows. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pixels is a 3.5x4.5cm passport photo?
A 3.5x4.5cm passport photo is typically 413x531px at 300dpi. If the submission portal specifies other pixel or file-size rules, follow those first.
Can I use a phone photo for a passport photo?
Yes, but a well-lit photo with a clear front-facing pose is much safer. Images that include the upper body and shoulders are usually easier to crop than very close selfies.
Should I save a passport photo as JPG?
Many submission portals commonly accept JPG or JPEG. Some also accept PNG, but if the site does not specify otherwise, JPG is usually the safer default.
Is matching the size enough before submission?
Not always. Many passport photo rules also check the background, face ratio, headroom, and whether the photo is recent. Review the official guide after resizing.
Do the ears need to be fully visible in a passport photo?
The current Korean passport photo guidance focuses more on making sure the full face is clearly visible, from forehead to chin, with the facial contour unobstructed. If accessories reflect light or cover the facial outline, they can still cause problems, so check the latest official photo guide before submitting.
How much is the passport issuance fee?
The official Korean passport guidance states that, from July 1, 2024, the domestic fee for adults aged 18 and older is 52,000 KRW for a 10-year 58-page passport and 49,000 KRW for a 10-year 26-page passport. Fees differ for minors, overseas missions, and other passport types, so review the official fee table before applying.
