🇸🇷 Suriname passport and ID photos

Covered Suriname Documents

This page covers many official Suriname documents that require a photograph. These include the Suriname passport photo, Suriname child passport photo, and Suriname national ID card photo^[1][2].

You also need properly sized pictures for the Suriname international driving permit photo, Suriname residence permit photo, and Suriname foreign worker permit photo^[3][4][5].

Other items on this page include the visitor visa, electronic entry-fee voucher, and PSA document^[6][7]. Check the relevant application instructions for any photo requirements.

Size Requirements and Common Dimensions

The cited official pages do not establish 35×45 mm as the photo size for every document listed here. Check each application’s instructions for its required dimensions.

The cited pages do not establish a shared size or head-height rule for all these documents. Check the relevant office’s instructions for your application.

Because exact facial proportions are not strictly locked to a millimeter measurement by the issuing bodies, keeping your face centered and well-proportioned within the frame remains the safest approach. Always verify that your crop leaves enough breathing room around your head and shoulders.

Submission Formats: Printed versus Digital

The passport page lists a passport photo among the application documents^[1]. Check the ID-card and international-driving-permit instructions for their photo submission formats^[2][3].

The cited travel page does not establish photo-submission formats for an electronic entry-fee voucher or a visitor visa^[6]. Follow the instructions shown for your application.

When a physical print is required, you must bring a physical sheet to the office or kiosk. When digital uploads are needed, pay close attention to any file size limits imposed by the online portal.

Practical Tips for Taking Your Photo

When you take your photo, face a bright window for even lighting across your features. Stand against a plain background to keep the focus entirely on you without distracting patterns.

Ask a friend to take the picture while you keep a neutral facial expression with your mouth closed. Keep the camera at eye level about one to one and a half meters away from your face to avoid unnatural distortion of your nose and forehead.

Good lighting and a stable camera setup prevent common amateur mistakes that lead to photo rejections.

Checking Details Before You Submit

Remove your glasses and keep your hair away from your eyes and face so your facial features are fully visible. Look straight into the camera lens without tilting your head up, down, or to the side.

Make sure the lighting does not cast harsh shadows on your face or on the background behind you. Small details like shadows, glare on skin, or hair covering your eyebrows can cause your application photo to be refused by reviewing officers.

Taking a few extra seconds to inspect these small elements saves you time and trouble later.

Using the Photo Tool

You can use the tool above to format your photo to the correct 35x45 mm dimensions right in your browser. This makes it simple to arrange your cropped pictures onto a standard 4x6-inch sheet for printing at a local kiosk.

Because the photo never leaves your device, your personal images stay private and secure throughout the editing process. Once printed on a standard photo sheet, you can cut out the individual pictures with scissors and prepare them for your paperwork submission.
