Official Size and Requirements
The authority does not publish an official passport-photo size[1]. For applicants who must bring a photo, 35 × 45 mm (about 1.38 × 1.77 inches) is a typical crop size, not an official specification[1].
Passport validity is 3 years for children under 3, 5 years from age 3 to under 14, and 10 years from age 14[1]. Keeping track of these age brackets helps you know when your document expires.
