Guinean Passport Photo Size and Guidelines
Getting ready for a Guinean passport application means gathering specific items, including two recent printed identity photos[1]. You can use the tool above to help prepare your pictures easily.
Official Photo Size and Measurements
The authority does not publish an official passport photo size[1]. A 35×45 mm photo (about 1.38×1.77 inches) is a common practical choice, not an official requirement.
You should always confirm this dimension directly with the issuing office or organisation before you submit your paperwork. Checking ahead helps you avoid delays with your passport request.
When you use the tool above, you can easily crop your digital image to this 35x45 mm size. This prepares your photo for printing on standard paper.
Background and Lighting Setup
The passport procedure asks for recent identity photos, but it does not specify a background colour[1]. This gives you some flexibility when you take your picture at home.
Try to stand in front of a plain wall to keep the background clean and distraction-free. Good lighting is also very important for a clear picture.
Face a bright window or use soft indoor lights to illuminate your face evenly. Avoid harsh shadows under your chin or behind your head so your features remain clearly visible.
Head Height and Facial Rules
The official guidelines do not set a specific head height requirement for your passport photo[1]. You can frame your face naturally within the 35x45 mm frame.
The official source does not specify rules for glasses or headwear[1].
Keep your head straight and look directly into the camera lens. A neutral posture helps create a clear and acceptable identity photo.
Rules for Children and Infants
The official source does not list separate rules or exceptions for child or infant passport photos[1].
If you need to take a picture of a baby or small toddler, lay them down on a plain white or light-coloured sheet. You can also cover a car seat with a solid blanket and take the photo from directly above.
Make sure the child is awake and facing the camera if possible. Take several shots so you have a good option to crop and print.
Printing and Submission Requirements
Applicants must submit two recent printed identity photos with their application[1]. Digital-only submissions are not the final format required by the office.
You can take your cropped 35x45 mm photo and place it onto a standard 4x6-inch photo template. Print this sheet at a local store kiosk just like an ordinary picture.
Cut out the two photos carefully using scissors or a paper cutter. Check that the edges are straight and the print quality is sharp before you hand them in.
Authority and Professional Procedures
The passport procedure requires applicants to submit two recent identity photos[1].
Check with the application centre if you need details about submitting the two printed photos.
Even if the office takes a photo on-site, having your own photos ready can help you practice and check your appearance. Follow all local directions from the issuing officials.
