Frequently asked questions

What size is a South Korea Passport photo?

35×45 mm, with the head measuring 32–36 mm from chin to top of head. Background: 배경은 균일하고 잉크 자국이 없는 흰색이며, 테두리가 없어야 함 (uniform white background, no ink marks, no border).

Can I take my South Korea Passport photo at home?

Yes. Stand facing a window for soft, even light, keep a neutral expression and have someone take the photo from about 1.2 m (4 ft) away at eye level. Upload it above — we crop it to the exact size and replace the background automatically.

How do I print it?

Download the 4×6 inch print sheet and order a standard 4×6 (10×15 cm) print at a pharmacy or photo kiosk. Make sure it prints at 100% size (no "fit to page"), then cut out the photos along the guide lines.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Face detection and background removal run in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.

Will my photo be accepted?

Our tool follows the official size and position rules, but acceptance also depends on lighting, focus and expression. Always check the latest official requirements on the issuing authority's website (linked above).
