JustineBaby 35 x 45 mm Passport Photo: International Size Reference
The 35 x 45 mm photo format (also written as 35x45mm or 3.5 x 4.5 cm) is the international standard used by over 80 countries for both passport and visa photos — including the United Kingdom, the Schengen area, India (for visa), Japan, Germany, France, and most of Asia. The equivalent imperial size is roughly 1.38 x 1.77 inches, but the metric measurement is what consulates check against a ruler.
This page focuses on the size and pixel dimensions for baby photos in the 35 x 45 mm format. For country-specific rules (background colour, expression, eyes-closed leniency for infants), check the destination country's own guide — the UK, for example, has unique rules for babies under 1.
Exact Dimensions

Country-level head size variations
Within the 35 x 45 mm format, head-to-frame ratios vary slightly by country:
- UK: 29 to 34 mm from chin to crown — see UK Baby Passport Photo for UK-specific rules
- Schengen area: 32 to 36 mm, face 70-80% of the frame
- India visa: more lenient for children, roughly 25-35 mm
- Germany / France: 32 to 36 mm
Snap2Pass automatically adjusts the head crop for each country's exact specification when you pick the destination during upload.
Which Countries Use 35 x 45 mm for Babies?
The 35 x 45 mm format applies to both passport and visa photos (with country-specific background colour and expression rules) for:
- United Kingdom (passport and visa, with lenient infant rules) — UK baby-specific guide
- Schengen area (26 EU countries + Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein)
- Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium individual passport applications
- India (visa only — Indian passport photos use 2 x 2 inches for NRI applications)
- Japan (passport and visa)
- South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia (most visas)
- Russia, Turkey, Egypt and most Middle Eastern visas
For other sizes:
- US passport and visa, plus Indian visa: 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) — see Baby 2x2 Passport Photo
- Canada: 50 x 70 mm — see Canadian Passport Photo
- China visa: 33 x 48 mm — see Chinese Visa Photo
Background Colour Varies by Country
Unlike the 2 x 2 inch format (which is always plain white for US and India), the 35 x 45 mm format has country-specific background colour rules:
- UK: Plain light grey or cream (gov.uk specification) — avoid pure white
- Schengen area: Plain light grey recommended
- Germany, France, Italy: Light grey
- India visa: Plain white
- Japan: Plain white or off-white
Snap2Pass auto-replaces the background with the exact colour required for the destination country, so you don't have to set up the right backdrop at home.
