Singapore quirks worth knowing
- Automated checks: ICA runs biometric verification on submissions (online portal and in person), so head size and background matter more than usual — follow the framing band.
- Online first: passport applications are filed through ICA's online portal, so the digital file (400 × 514 px or larger, JPEG) is what gets checked.
- Babies: allowed, but the child must be alone in frame, eyes open where possible, nothing covering the face (see the baby photo guide).
Submitting to ICA — what happens after the crop
Singapore files passport applications through ICA's online portal, so the digital file is the one that gets checked — print a copy only if you are asked for one at collection. The tool pre-selects the ICA 35 × 45 mm portrait crop and exports a 400 × 514 px JPEG at 300 DPI, the size the portal expects.
Three steps, start to finish
- The preset opens on the ICA portrait crop, so nothing has to be measured by hand.
- Shoot against a plain white wall — the automated checks pass or fail on background and head size (the home photo guide covers the at-home routine).
- Let face detection place the crop, then save the 400 × 514 px JPEG and upload it to the ICA portal.
The crop, the background clean-up and the JPEG export all run on your own device — no account, no queue, no server.
