Jersey Passport, Visa, and ID Photo Requirements
Get the right size and format for your Jersey official documents using clear guidelines and the tool above.
Standard Photo Size for Jersey Documents
Photo requirements vary by Jersey document. The supplied guidance lists 35×45 mm for several document types, but treats many of these as common sizes rather than official standards.

Jersey Passports and Child Passports
Adult and child passport photos for Jersey must measure exactly 35x45 mm[1]. When you measure the image, the head height from the chin to the top of the head must be between 29 and 34 mm[1].
You must submit these passport photos in printed form[1]. Make sure you follow every rule closely so the Government of Jersey does not refuse your application. Check your prints against a ruler before you send them in to avoid simple mistakes that can delay your travel plans.
Driving Licences and International Driving Permits
The supplied guidance lists 35×45 mm as a common size for a Jersey driving licence photo. Check the licensing authority’s instructions for the required photo.
International driving permits also require a 35x45 mm photo, and there is no single official head height set for this application either[2]. You must submit both types of driving photos in printed format[3][2]. Keep your expression neutral and look straight into the camera lens when taking these photos.
Visas and Immigration Permissions
Jersey visa applications are made through the UK process. Check the application instructions for photo dimensions and framing[4].
Jersey’s visa page says applicants provide a photo at a visa application centre and that digital permissions replace physical immigration documents from 1 July 2026[4]. It does not state a photo size. Check the relevant application instructions for the photo format.
Practical Tips for Taking Your Photo
Stand facing a bright window to get even lighting on your face without harsh shadows. Keep the camera at eye level and ask someone else to take the picture for you instead of using a selfie angle.
Remove hats and sunglasses unless you wear them for medical or religious reasons. Check all dimensions before you print your photo sheet on standard 4x6-inch paper. Taking time to measure your image prevents delays with your official application.
Printing Your Photos at Home or a Kiosk
You can arrange multiple 35x45 mm photos onto a standard 4x6-inch photo sheet using the tool above. This layout lets you print a batch of photos cheaply at a local store kiosk or on a home printer.
Cut the photos carefully along the edges using scissors or a paper trimmer. Keep the paper clean and free of bends or fingerprints so the office accepts your submission without any trouble.
