Common Reasons Photos Get Rejected
Glasses
Wrong head size
Wrong background
Shadow on face
Shadow on background
Wrong photo size — Cameroon passport photos must be exactly 40x40mm (4x4 cm), not the US 2x2 inch format
Non-white background — Background must be plain white with no shadows, patterns, or colors
Wearing glasses — Glasses are not allowed unless you have a signed doctor's statement for medical necessity
Ears not visible — Both ears must be clearly visible in the photo
Head covering without documentation — Hats or head coverings require a signed religious or medical statement
Photo too old — Must be taken within the last 6 months showing your current appearance
Digital alterations — Retouching, filters, or AI modifications to remove blemishes or alter appearance will cause rejection
Printing Your Photo
For mail-in applications, print your photo on 4×6 photo paper at any drugstore. Our download includes a print-ready template with multiple photos — you only need 2 for most applications.
Use glossy photo paper, not regular printer paper. When printing, select "actual size" or "no scaling" to ensure the photos are exactly 40 × 40 mm (1.6" × 1.6").

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Cameroon passport photo?

Can I wear glasses in my Cameroon passport photo?
No. Glasses are not allowed unless you have a signed statement from a doctor explaining why you cannot remove them for medical reasons.

For biometric passports, your photo, fingerprints, and signature are captured on-site at the enrollment center. However, you may still need photos for supporting documents.
Do both ears need to be visible?
Yes. Cameroon passport photos require both ears to be clearly visible. Move hair behind your ears before taking the photo.
Can I wear a head covering for religious reasons?
