About this tool

Nigerian passport applications start online with the Nigeria Immigration Service, and the photo is part of that online step - before biometrics are captured at the appointment. Getting a correctly sized 35 x 45 mm photo and a clean digital file early saves a rescheduled visit. This crop is 413 x 531 pixels at 300 DPI, and the 4x6 sheet gives eight prints for any paper forms.

How to use this tool

  1. Take the photoUse a plain light background, even lighting and a neutral expression.
  2. Prepare the upload fileCrop the photo so the face is centred and sharp, because NIS reviews it before your biometrics appointment.
  3. Upload before the appointmentUse the file in the NIS online application, then bring prints if your office asks for them.

Photos for the NIS passport process

Use a recent photo with a plain, light background, face centred and fully visible. Upload the digital file during the online application, then keep prints in case the passport office or embassy asks for them. Requirements are set by the Nigeria Immigration Service and can change - check the current portal instructions.

The NIS online step and your appointment

Nigerian passport applications begin on the Nigeria Immigration Service portal, where you fill in the form and pay before your appointment. Having a correctly sized, sharp 35 x 45 mm photo ready makes that step quicker, and biometrics are then captured in person.

Take the photo against a plain light background with even lighting, facing the camera. Crop it here and keep both the digital file and the printed sheet, because some offices and missions ask for printed photos with your documents.
