Overview

The Direccion General de Pasaportes issues Dominican Republic passports, and the photo follows the 50x50mm square (2x2 inch) format on a plain white background. The head should measure roughly 25 to 35mm from chin to crown, which places it high in the frame. Photos must be recent, in colour, with a neutral expression and both eyes clearly visible. The same square size carries over to many Dominican visa submissions.

A solid white background with even lighting and no shadows behind the head.

Requirements

  • Square 50x50mm (2x2 inch) colour photo.
  • Plain white background without shadows or patterns.
  • Head measuring about 25 to 35mm from chin to the top of the head.
  • Neutral facial expression with the mouth closed.
  • Both eyes open and looking straight at the camera.
  • Hair styled away from the face so the eyes and brows show.
  • Glasses removed unless medically required and free of glare.
  • No hat or head covering except for daily religious wear that leaves the face clear.

Common Rejection Reasons

  • Background that is tinted, busy, or shadowed.
  • Head sized outside the 25 to 35mm range.
  • Hair or frames blocking the eyes.
  • Smiling or any expression that is not neutral.
  • Soft focus, glare, or uneven exposure.
  • Stale photo that no longer shows your current appearance.

Tips

  • Position the camera straight on at eye height.
  • Pull hair back from the brows and cheeks.
  • Wear a top that contrasts with the white background.
  • Use two light sources to remove side shadows.
  • Confirm the head height fits the square before printing.
