Turks and Caicos Islands Permanent Residence Certificate Photo Guide
The Permanent Residence Certificate page lists two recent passport-size photos, with one certified, for some application routes[1]. It does not state exact dimensions; 35×45 mm is a practical crop default, not an official size.
Official Size and Dimensions
The Permanent Residence Certificate page asks some applicants to provide two recent passport-size photos, one certified[1]. It does not state exact dimensions. A 35×45 mm (1.38×1.77 in) crop is a practical default, not an official size.
The page does not give exact photo dimensions or head-height rules[1]. Confirm the required size with the issuing office.
Photo Count and Certification
You must supply two recent passport-size photos with your application paperwork[1]. These photos must be clear, recent representations of your appearance.
One photo must be certified[1]. The page does not say who may certify it, so ask the office.
The page lists two recent passport-size photos, one certified, for the former-child-dependent routes shown[1]. Check the requirements for your specific route to see if dependents need separate copies.
Taking Your Photo at Home
You can easily take your application photo at home before you print it out. Stand facing a bright window to get even, natural lighting on your face without harsh shadows. Keep the camera at eye level about one to one and a half meters away from you.
Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you. Holding a camera at arm length for a selfie distorts your facial features and can cause your photo to be rejected by the office.
The page does not specify expression, mouth, clothing, hair, or headwear rules[1]. Confirm any photo instructions with the office.
Preparing Your Print Sheet
You can use a 35×45 mm crop as a practical default, but the application page does not state exact photo dimensions[1]. Confirm the required size with the office before printing.
If you use a 4×6-inch sheet, confirm the photo dimensions with the office first. The page does not specify a print-sheet format[1].
Printing at a Local Kiosk
The page does not specify a print-sheet format or kiosk process[1]. Confirm the required photo format with the office.
If you print the photo at a kiosk, check its dimensions after printing and confirm the required size with the office. Avoid using heavy gloss filters or home inkjet settings that smear the ink when the paper is handled by staff.
