Kenya Passport Photo Specifications
1. Background Color and Type:
For Kenyan passport photos, the background must be plain white. This requirement is crucial to ensure that the photo is clear and that your face is prominently visible against a neutral backdrop. A white background provides a high level of contrast that helps in accurate identification.
2. Photo Size Requirements:
Kenya’s passport photo must adhere to the following size specifications:
- In Centimeters (CM): 4.5 cm x 3.5 cm
- In Millimeters (MM): 45 mm x 35 mm
- In Inches: 1.77 in x 1.38 in
These dimensions are critical to ensure that the photo fits correctly into the passport application form and meets the international standards for identification.
3. Facial Expression and Position:
The subject of the photo should have a neutral expression with their mouth closed and eyes open. The head should be centered and occupy 70-80% of the height of the photo, which translates to about 32-36 mm from chin to crown. This ensures that your face is clearly visible and identifiable.
4. Photo Quality:
The photo must be in color and of high quality. It should be sharp and free from shadows or reflections. The lighting should be even, with no glare or red-eye effects.
