Palau Passport Photo Requirements
Palau passport applications ask for one (1) passport-size photo, 2 x 2 as stated by the official requirements, to be glued onto the application form. The official document publishes no background colour, pixels, DPI, head height or unit, so none is asserted here. Verified against the official Palau Passport Office requirements document (palaugov.pw), September 2026.
The official specification
| Number of photos | 1 (official wording: “one (1) passport size photo”) |
| Photo size | 2 x 2 (official wording: “2x2”; the official text states no unit) |
| How it is submitted | Glued onto the application form (official wording: “Glue one (1) passport size photo (2x2) on the application form”) |
| Background colour | Not published, so not asserted here |
| Pixels | Not published, so not asserted here |
| DPI | Not published, so not asserted here |
| Head height | Not published, so not asserted here |
| Unit | Not published, so not asserted here (the stated “2x2” is not converted here) |
Those are the only photo points the official document makes: one photo, the size written as 2 x 2, and the instruction to glue it on. Everything else about the image is left unstated, and this guide does not invent it. To review a candidate image on your own device, use the passport photo checker; to lay out prints, use the print sheet.
What the official wording says
The Palau Passport Office requirements list the applicant steps in order, and the photo appears as the second item: “Glue one (1) passport size photo (2x2) on the application form.” The same wording carries through the new-applicant, renewal and lost-or-damaged sections, so the photo rule is one photo of that size, glued to the form, in every case.
A unit is not stated, so none is assumed
The official document writes the size as “2x2” without a unit. This guide keeps it exactly that way instead of converting it, because a conversion would be this site's inference, not the Passport Office's rule. If you are preparing a file, crop to the stated 2 x 2 proportion with the image cropper and resize the finished file with the image resizer — but do not treat any millimetre figure as an official Palau value.
Checklist
- One passport-size photo, 2 x 2, glued onto the application form.
- The official document states no background colour, so none is asserted here.
- The official document states no pixels, DPI or head height, so none is asserted here.
Compare this entry with the rest of the photo size chart if you are also preparing photos for other countries, so sizes from different applications do not get mixed up.
Frequently asked questions
What size photo does Palau require?
The official Palau Passport Office requirements state “one (1) passport size photo (2x2)”. That text gives no unit, so this guide writes it as 2 x 2 and does not convert it.
How many photos do I need?
One. The official requirements document lists “one (1) passport size photo” for new applicants, renewals and lost or damaged passports alike.
How is the photo submitted?
It is glued onto the application form. The official wording is “Glue one (1) passport size photo (2x2) on the application form.”
What background colour does the photo need?
The official requirements document states no background colour, so none is asserted here.
Does the official document state a pixel size, DPI or head height?
No. None of those is published, so none is asserted here.
Is the “2x2” size in inches or millimetres?
The official text does not say. It states only “2x2”, so this guide does not convert it to either unit.
