Guyana Passport Photo Requirements
Guyana's passport photo rule is an inch-and-millimetre range, not a single size: no larger than 45 × 35 mm (1.77 × 1.38 in) and no smaller than 32 × 26 mm (1.26 × 1.02 in). The official form also notes the photograph can be taken at the office booth. Verified against the official application form (moha.gov.gy), September 2026.
The official specification
| Maximum size | 45 × 35 mm (1.77 × 1.38 in) |
| Minimum size | 32 × 26 mm (1.26 × 1.02 in) |
| Colour | Colour |
| Print quality | Digital portraits must be high quality and high resolution, printed on photo quality paper |
| Background colour | Not published officially |
| Head height | Not published officially |
| Pixels / DPI | Not published officially |
The form says "high quality and resolution" but publishes no DPI figure, so no DPI is asserted here. Likewise it states no background colour, so none is given.
Two ways to provide the photo
- At the office: the colour photograph can be taken at the booth at the Central Immigration and Passport Office by a Data Entry Immigration Clerk.
- Submitted: a photograph you provide must meet the size range above, and the recommender must endorse and stamp the reverse side of the copy.
Preparing the file
- Crop within the size range with the image cropper and check the frame 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.
