ICA's Passport/ IC Photo Requirements

Singapore ICA's passport photo requirements are based on specifications by the International Standards Organisation (ISO) and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

It's rather "troublesome" with so many rules but we have to be realistic that our IC/ passport photographs are for identification purposes. Imagine that you need to check someone who's entering your premises, you probably want him or her to look like the photograph, which must be clear enough to compare.

FAQ

Why is doing a passport/ IC photoshoot so costly?: Although the set-up is minimum, a substantial amount of time and effort is still required to prepare and set up the photography studio, while the timeslot has to be blocked off for your photoshoot.

I would suggest you take up a normal studio photoshoot as well and let the passport photoshoot occupy part of it. For example, you can do a professional corporate photoshoot for your LinkedIn and other professional profiles.
What should I wear for the passport/ IC photoshoot?: A darker-coloured top will be good - avoid a white top since we're using a white backdrop.
