Spécifications de la photo
Aperçu
Chinese passport photos follow unique 33x48mm dimensions, differing from the global 35x45mm standard, and must have a pure white background per Ministry of Public Security regulations. China's public security bureau (PSB) offices typically capture photos on-site using standardized digital systems, but applicants may also bring compliant photos from approved studios. For overseas Chinese nationals renewing through consulates, specific digital upload requirements apply, including a 354x472 pixel resolution and strict color space compliance.
Pure white background with no shadows, patterns, or visible edges
Exigences
- Photo dimensions must be 33x48mm when printed, with the head occupying 28-33mm from chin to crown
- Background must be pure white with even illumination and no shadows
- Expression must be neutral with mouth closed, both eyes open, and a natural gaze toward the camera
- Both ears must be visible; hair must not cover the forehead, eyebrows, or ears
- No glasses, colored contact lenses, or accessories that alter facial appearance

Raisons courantes de rejet
- Photo dimensions deviating from the 33x48mm (or 354x472 pixel) standard

Conseils
- If applying at a PSB office, arrive early as the on-site photo queue can be long during peak season
- For consulate renewals abroad, find a studio familiar with the 33x48mm Chinese format specifically
- Wear a dark-colored top with a collar for maximum contrast against the white background
- Pull hair back fully to expose both ears and the entire forehead
- Verify digital file specs (354x472px, 40-120 KB, sRGB JPEG) before uploading to the consular portal
