Frequently Asked Questions

What size is a Nigerian passport photo?

Nigerian passport photos must be 35mm wide by 45mm tall with a plain white background.

Can I use this for a Nigerian visa application?

Yes. Nigerian visa applications typically use the same 35×45mm standard.

Are glasses allowed in Nigerian passport photos?

No. The NIS does not accept glasses in passport photos.

What is the face oval guide?

The oval overlay shows the ideal face position in the frame. Zoom in or out until your face fits inside the oval — this ensures your face occupies the correct proportion of the photo.

What does Center Face do?

It automatically detects your face and centers the frame around it. Click it after uploading for the best starting position.

What does Straighten do?

It detects the angle of your eyes and rotates the image so they are perfectly level — useful for photos taken at a slight tilt.
