Head size and position
The head should fill 70-80% of the frame, with visible space between your head and shoulders and the edge of the photo, chin to mid-torso in view.
Digital file (if applying online)
Passport Online (myaccount.gov.ie) wants a digital photo of exactly 715x951 pixels, JPEG, no larger than 9 MB, on a plain white, grey or cream background.
Common reasons photos get rejected
- Uploading a photo that isn't 715x951 pixels, the online system checks the exact dimensions.
- Visible shadows or pixelation from re-compressing the file too much.
- Head tilted or rotated even slightly.
- Photo older than 6 months.
Taking the photo at home
- Crop to exactly 715x951 pixels before uploading.
- Use a plain white, grey or cream background, all three are accepted.
- Face the camera straight on without tilting your head.
- Keep the file under 9 MB, this is rarely an issue unless you're uploading a very high resolution original.
Based on current Passport Online (Department of Foreign Affairs) digital photo requirements.
