Overview of Covered Documents
This guide covers several Bangladesh document photo types. Check the requirements for the specific application you are making.
The documents included are the standard Bangladeshi passport and the child and baby e-passport[1][2]. You also need correct photos for your national identity card and your driving licence[3][4].
Other covered items include the visitor visa, the expatriate work permit, the seafarer’s book, and the official citizenship application[5][6][7][8]. Each of these documents requires a clear photograph to accompany your records and verify your identity properly.
Understanding Size Requirements
The fact table lists 35×45 mm for all covered document photos. For most of them this is a common size, not a single official size[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].
The fact table does not specify a head-height measurement for these photo types[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].
You can format your pictures easily using the tool above to meet the required 35×45 mm dimensions before you print or upload them.
Size Basis and Official Standards
The fact table classifies the visitor visa photo as an official 35×45 mm size. It lists the other photo sizes as common sizes, with no single official size[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].
Because rules can vary slightly between different government agencies, you must check the exact instructions of your specific application before you submit your materials[1][3][4].
Understanding whether a rule comes directly from a legal statute or acts as a standard administrative practice helps you avoid unnecessary mistakes during your application process.
Printed Versus Digital Submission Rules
The fact table lists printed submission for passport, child e-passport, and citizenship application photos[1][2][8].
The fact table lists digital submission for national identity card and expatriate work permit photos[3][6].
The fact table lists both printed and digital submission for driving licence, visitor visa, and seafarer’s book photos[4][5][7]. Check the application instructions for the method required.
Practical Steps for Taking Your Photo
You can take a suitable photo at home by following a few simple steps. Face a bright window to get clear and even lighting on your face without harsh shadows.
Ask a friend or family member to take the picture instead of taking a selfie, which distorts facial proportions.
Keep the camera at eye level about one to one and a half meters away from you to maintain a natural look. Taking your time with these steps helps achieve better results.
Avoiding Common Application Rejections
Follow the photo instructions for the document you are applying for.
Check the instructions for your specific application for rules on head coverings and glasses.
Check the photo instructions for any background requirements.
Age and Special Exceptions
The fact table lists 35×45 mm for child and baby e-passport photos[2]. It does not specify a head-height measurement.
Parents should take care to photograph babies against a plain background with their eyes open if possible. Always check agency updates for any special provisions regarding young applicants.
