Samoa Passport Photo Requirements
Samoa's passport page states who may apply and how long processing takes, but it does not publish a photo specification. This page records what the official source does say, and marks every photo dimension as not published. Verified against the official Samoa Immigration page (mpmc.gov.ws), September 2026.
What the official source publishes
The official Samoa Immigration “Passports” page states that only Samoan citizens are eligible for a Samoan passport, and that applications require a standard of five (5) working days to process. It contains no photo size, background, head-height, count, pixel or DPI rule.
Photo specification: not published
The official page used here does not publish any photo technical specification. Every dimension below is therefore shown as not published — we do not infer a size, convert a unit, or assume a capture method.
| Number of photos | Not published |
| Size (mm / inches) | Not published |
| Background colour | Not published |
| Pixels / DPI | Not published |
| Head height / framing | Not published |
| Capture method | Not published |
Because none of these is published, any figure you see elsewhere is not from this official source, and this page does not repeat it.
Preparing a photo without a published spec
While no size is published, you can still tidy a photograph you intend to submit: crop and check the frame on your own device, and confirm the file is a normal, unedited colour photo of your full face. Use the image cropper, review it with the passport photo checker, and compare general conventions on the photo size chart. Always defer to the official source.
