Grenada Permanent Residence Application Photo Requirements and Size
Prepare your photos for a Grenada permanent residence application using the correct dimensions and certification rules.
Official Size and Dimensions
The instruction sheet for permanent residence asks for four passport-size photographs, but it does not give their official dimensions[1]. A 35 by 45 mm crop is a common size; confirm the expected size with the office before printing.
A 35 by 45 mm crop is about 1.38 by 1.77 inches. The instruction sheet does not specify a photo size, so ask the office handling your application what dimensions it accepts[1].
Application and Certification Rules
When you apply for permanent residence in Grenada, your application requires four passport-size photographs[1].
Each of these four printed photographs must be certified by a Justice of the Peace or a notary[1]. Make sure you obtain this certification properly before you send your application package[1].
The instruction sheet requires certified photographs but does not say where or how the certification should appear. Ask the certifying official how to certify the prints[1].
Head Height and Framing
The instruction sheet does not give a head-height or eye-line measurement[1].
The instruction sheet does not specify head height or framing measurements. Ask the office handling your application if it has framing preferences[1].
Keep your face looking directly at the camera lens. Do not tilt your head up, down, or to the side, so that your features remain clear and easy to see.
Taking Your Photo at Home Step by Step
You can take your photo at home before you print it out. Stand facing a bright window to get even, natural light on your face.
Ask a friend or family member to hold the camera or phone at your eye level, about one to one and a half meters away. Look straight into the lens with a neutral expression and keep your mouth closed.
When you have a clear picture, you can use the tool above to crop your image to the correct 35 by 45 millimeter size.
Avoid using flash if it creates harsh shadows on the wall behind you. Natural daylight from a large window works best to produce a clean background without dark spots.
Printing Your Photos on a 4x6 Sheet
The instruction sheet asks for four passport-size photographs[1]. It does not say whether digital submission is possible, so confirm the submission method with the office.
You can arrange your cropped 35 by 45 millimeter photos onto a standard 4 by 6 inch photo sheet using the tool above. Save the sheet and take it to a local photo kiosk or print shop to get standard physical prints.
When you pick up your prints, check that the paper has a matte or glossy finish without pixelation or ink streaks. The printed colors should match your natural skin tone.
Common Reasons Photos Are Refused
The instruction sheet does not list reasons a photograph might be refused. Check that you have four passport-size photographs ready for certification[1].
The instruction sheet requires four passport-size photographs certified by a Justice of the Peace or Notary Public[1]. It does not specify image-quality rules or require identical copies.
Other simple errors include wearing tinted glasses or hats that obscure your hair and face line. Keep your appearance everyday and simple so the office can verify your identity quickly.
