Brunei Passport Photo Requirements
Brunei Darussalam's Immigration and National Registration Department asks for 2 passport-sized photos on a white background in the document list for travel-document applications made outside the country. The page publishes no size in millimetres, inches or pixels, and no head-height rule, so none is stated here — 35 × 45 mm must not be assumed.
What the official page publishes
The travel-document (“Dokumen Perjalanan Pasport”) page of the Immigration and National Registration Department, immigration.gov.bn, sets out the country's travel documents and the documents needed for each application. The photo requirement below is quoted from the required-documents list for applications lodged outside Brunei Darussalam. Anything the page does not state is marked Not published.
The specification, as far as it is published
| Photo wording | 2 passport-sized photos (white background) — official wording |
| Number of photos | 2 |
| Background | White (official wording: “white background”) |
| Where the rule applies | The required-documents list for applications made outside Brunei Darussalam |
| Document type | Travel document / passport application (biometric passport BND$60.00) |
| Size (mm / inch / px) | Not published — the page says only “passport-sized”. Do not assume 35 × 45 mm. |
| Head height | Not published — do not extrapolate |
| Lost / stolen replacement fee | BND$150 (first), BND$300 (second), BND$450 (third) |
Why the page gives no dimensions
The department writes “passport-sized photos” and nothing more precise. No millimetre, inch or pixel figure appears, and no head-height ratio is given — the specification column of the passport entry deals with biometric data, not photo geometry. Because nothing is published, this guide does not supply a number: do not assume the widely used 35 × 45 mm, and confirm the exact size with the office handling your application if the dimensions matter.
Where the photo fits in the application
For an application made outside Brunei Darussalam the department lists, alongside the two white-background photos: the application form, a copy of the passport, a copy of the identity card, and a letter from a school, university or employer. Within Brunei, applications are handled at the department's offices and travel documents carry their own fees — the biometric passport is BND$60.00, and replacing a lost or stolen passport costs BND$150, BND$300 or BND$450 for the first, second or third loss.
Preparing the file once the size is confirmed
Once the receiving office confirms the dimensions, the image cropper frames the photo to that size, the passport photo checker reviews the face and framing on your own device, and the photo size chart shows how Brunei compares with other countries.
