Grenada Passport Photo Requirements
Grenada's official passport application form asks for two photographs taken within 6 months — or you may submit to live capture of your portrait instead. The size is given in inches only: no larger than 2½ in × 2 in and no smaller than 2 in × 1½ in. Verified against the official Grenada passport application form (gov.gd), September 2026.
The official specification
| Two routes | Two photographs or live capture at the office |
| Number | 2 (if you bring printed photos) |
| Size (upper limit) | Not more than 2½ in × 2 in |
| Size (lower limit) | Not less than 2 in × 1½ in |
| Recency | Taken within 6 months of the application |
| Framing | Full face, from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead clearly visible |
| Background | Not published officially |
| Head height | Not published officially |
| Pixels / DPI | Not published officially |
Because the official form gives the size in inches and nothing else, do not convert it to millimetres and present that as the rule. Treat 2½ in × 2 in (maximum) and 2 in × 1½ in (minimum) as the specification, and leave the background unstated rather than guessing one.
Printed photos or live capture
The form offers two routes in one sentence: produce two photographs, or submit to live capture of your portrait. If you bring printed photos, use the inch range above. If you use live capture, the office takes the portrait itself and the paper-photo size does not apply. Do not mix the two — decide which route you are taking before you print.
Preparing the file
- Two printed photos within the inch range, or use live capture.
- Crop the frame in the browser with the image cropper and compare proportions on the photo size chart.
- Review the face and framing on your own device with the passport photo checker.
- Print at physical size with the print sheet, or set exact pixels with the image resizer.
Frequently asked questions
What size photo does Grenada require?
The official Grenada passport application form states the photographs must be not more than 2½ in × 2 in, or less than 2 in × 1½ in. Only inches are given, so no millimetre figure is asserted here.
How many photographs do I need?
Two, unless you submit to live capture of your portrait at the office. The official form says every passport holder must either produce two photographs taken within six months of the application or submit to live capture.
How recent must the photos be?
The official form asks for photographs taken within six (6) months of the application.
What background colour is required?
Not published. The Grenada form does not state a background colour, so none is asserted here.
Is there a head-height rule?
Not published officially. The form only requires the full face to be clearly visible from the bottom of the chin to the top of the forehead; it gives no head-height figure.
Should I just convert 2 in to 50 mm?
No. The official form publishes the size in inches only. A millimetre conversion is not an official figure, so treat the inch range as the specification.
