FAQ

What size photo is required for Hong Kong passport?

Hong Kong passport photos must meet these specifications: - Dimensions: 40 mm (width) × 50 mm (height) or 1200×1600 pixels (300 DPI minimum). - Head Size: 32–36 mm from chin to crown, centered and occupying 70–80% of the image. - Background: Uniform white (#FFFFFF) without shadows, textures, or gradients. Quality: Sharp focus, natural skin tone, neutral expression (both eyes open, mouth closed). - Restrictions: No headwear (religious exemptions permitted), glasses removed, and no digital alterations.

Can you smile in a HK passport photo?

For Hong Kong passport photos, maintain a neutral facial expression with both eyes open and mouth closed. Smiling, frowning, or exaggerated expressions are strictly prohibited. Wear solid-colored clothing that contrasts sharply with the plain white or light-gray background (e.g., dark tones). Avoid white attire, patterns, or accessories that obscure facial features. Ensure even lighting with no shadows or glare, especially if wearing glasses. Head coverings are only permitted for religious reasons and must not obstruct facial contours.
