Jamaican Passport Photo

A Jamaican passport photo must measure 35mm x 45mm with the face occupying 70-80% of the image (25mm to 35mm from chin to forehead). Ensure a 2-3mm gap between the top of the head and the photo edge, a plain white background, and no shadows or editing. Photos must be recent (within 6 months) and printed on high-quality matte or glossy paper.

For Jamaica passport photos, clothing and background colors must contrast appropriately with your skin tone: - Light Complexions: Avoid white clothing. Opt for solid-colored attire against a pastel (e.g., light blue or gray) background. - Dark Complexions: Wear colored clothing and use a plain white background. Ensure clothing is non-reflective, free from patterns, and covers shoulders. Neutral expressions and front-facing poses are required.

For a First-Time Adult Passport in Jamaica, applicants must submit: 1. A valid Birth Certificate, Adoption Certificate, or Jamaican Citizenship Certificate. 2. Two (2) identical, recent passport-sized photographs. Only one photograph requires certification, which must be completed by the same authorized official who endorses your application form. Ensure all documents are original or certified copies. For additional guidelines, visit the Passport, Immigration, and Citizenship Agency (PICA) official website.

Jamaican regular passports have a navy blue cover with the Jamaican Coat of Arms centrally positioned in gold foil. Above the emblem, the CARICOM logo and "Caribbean Community" text appear, while the word "JAMAICA," "Passport," and the biometric passport symbol are printed below in gold.
