Indonesian Document Photo Sizes
Photo sizes vary by Indonesian document and application. The sizes listed here are common sizes drawn from the cited application sources.
For an adult passport, the common size is 40×60 mm[1][2]. A baby passport photo is commonly 35×45 mm[1]. National identity card photos are commonly 25×30 mm[3].
When you prepare your application, check whether your document needs a digital upload or a printed photo. Different offices and online portals have specific submission rules that you must follow carefully. Double-check your measurements before you print or upload.
Passports and Visas
Adult passport applications typically use a digital photo[1][2]. Baby passport photos are listed as printed submissions[1].
Visitor visas also use a 40×60 mm size and accept both digital uploads and printed submissions[4]. If you apply for an e-visa, you need a 35×45 mm digital photo file[5].
Make sure your digital files are clear and saved in the correct format before you upload them to an online portal. Lighting and file size limits are important factors to consider when preparing digital copies for upload.
Identity Cards and Driving Licences
National identity cards use a 25×30 mm size for official records[3]. Driving licences also require a 25×30 mm size[6].
For driving licences, you can submit your photo as either a digital file or a printed copy depending on your local office instructions[6]. Make sure your image meets the clarity standards required by local authorities.
Check local office guidelines before you submit your physical prints or digital files to avoid any delays in processing your request.

Tips for Taking Your Photo
Taking a good ID photo at home is simple when you follow basic setup steps. Stand facing a bright window so natural light illuminates your face evenly without casting harsh shadows.
Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you instead of holding the camera yourself. Keep the camera at your exact eye level and stay about one to one and a half metres away from the lens.
Keep your face relaxed with a neutral expression and your mouth closed. Avoid wearing hats, head coverings, or tinted glasses that hide your eyes or facial features.
Formatting and Printing Your Photo
You can use the tool above to crop your image to the dimensions listed for your Indonesian application.
After cropping, you can print the photo using the options available on the page.
Check the print settings on your printer to avoid scaling errors. A 100 percent scale keeps your photo at the correct physical size. Print on quality photo paper for the best results.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Many photo rejections happen because of bad lighting or shadows on the face. Always use soft, natural light from the front rather than a strong lamp behind you.
Another common mistake is tilting your head or looking away from the lens. Look straight into the camera lens with your shoulders square.
Avoid wearing busy patterns or clothes that match your background color. A plain background helps the crop tool work much better. Make sure your hair does not cover your eyes or eyebrows so your face is fully visible.
