Canadian Passport Photos
Canadian passport photos have specific requirements for size, facial positioning, lighting, background, image quality and printing.
For standard Canadian passport applications, you need two identical, unaltered photos. Canadian passport photos must be 50 mm wide by 70 mm high, with the face measuring between 31 mm and 36 mm from chin to crown. Photos must be taken by a commercial photographer, printed professionally on high-quality photographic paper and taken within six months of submitting your application.
At Fingerprinting 365, we help you get your passport photo taken according to the applicable requirements so you can submit your application with confidence.
Visa Photos for Different Countries
Visa photo requirements can vary depending on the country, visa category and application method. Different countries may require different photo sizes, dimensions, backgrounds and digital specifications.
We provide visa photos for international applications and can help you obtain photos in the format required for your application.
If you are applying for a visa, immigration document or travel document, bring the photo specifications provided by the government, embassy, consulate or application centre. This allows us to prepare your photos according to the requirements for your specific application.

Passport Photos for Children and Babies
Taking a passport photo of a baby or young child can be challenging. We can help you obtain a properly positioned photo suitable for your child’s application.
Canadian child passport photos have the same basic size and image-quality requirements as adult passport photos, although there are additional considerations for newborns and young children. For example, Canadian requirements allow some flexibility with a newborn’s facial expression.

How many passport photos do I need in Canada?
For a standard Canadian passport application, you generally need two identical photos. Some application types may have different requirements, so check the instructions for your specific application.
What size is a Canadian passport photo?
A standard Canadian passport photo is 50 mm × 70 mm (2 × 2¾ inches). The face must measure between 31 mm and 36 mm from chin to crown.
Can I smile in a Canadian passport photo?
Canadian passport photos require a neutral facial expression. Your eyes should be open and clearly visible, and your mouth should be closed.
Can I wear glasses in a passport photo?
Yes. Regular prescription glasses may be worn for a Canadian passport photo as long as your eyes are clearly visible and there is no glare or reflection on the lenses. Sunglasses and tinted glasses are not accepted
Can I use an AI-generated or edited passport photo?
No. Canadian passport photos must be original and unaltered. The Government of Canada specifically states that photos altered using editing software, filters or AI tools may be rejected.
How recent does my Canadian passport photo need to be?
For standard Canadian passport applications, photos must generally be taken no more than six months before the date you submit your application.
Do you provide visa photos?
Yes. Fingerprinting 365 provides professional visa and passport photography for applications with different photo requirements. Bring the official specifications for your country and visa category so the photo can be prepared in the appropriate format.
Can I get both printed and digital passport photos?
Depending on your application, you may need printed photos, a digital photo, or both. Canadian online passport renewals have specific digital-photo requirements that differ from printed passport photos.
What should I wear for a passport photo?
Wear normal clothing that provides enough contrast with the light background. Avoid clothing that blends into the background. The most important requirements are that your face remains clearly visible and the photo accurately represents your current appearance.
