How do I find the correct passport, visa or ID photo size?

Start with the country and document, not the size alone. Use FastIDPhoto Requirement Match or the Requirements Database to find a verified record, then check the application channel and age group when those details are published.

Can the same photo size be used for different countries?

Yes, the same physical size can appear in multiple requirements, but the rules are not necessarily identical. Head size, background, file limits, expression and submission channel can differ.

Does FastIDPhoto publish every country requirement?

FastIDPhoto has a broader country framework, but public verified pages are published only when the normalized rule is supported by a current primary-source record in the public catalog.

What does “Last Verified” mean?

It is the date stored with the source-backed rule when FastIDPhoto reviewed the linked issuing-authority material. It is not a promise that the authority will not change the rule later.

What does “official source” mean on a FastIDPhoto page?

It is the issuing authority or government source linked to the verified rule. FastIDPhoto makes the requirement easier to understand, but the official authority remains the final source for current submission rules.
