Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Sri Lanka passport photo?
Sri Lanka passport photos must be 35x45mm (3.5x4.5cm). This is the standard ICAO passport photo size used by most countries worldwide.
What background color is required for a Sri Lanka passport photo?
The standard requirement is a plain light grey background with no shadows or patterns. Some Sri Lankan consulates abroad may accept white or blue backgrounds, so check with your local consulate if applying overseas.
Can I wear glasses in my Sri Lanka passport photo?
It is recommended to remove glasses. Prescription glasses are technically allowed if they do not obscure your eyes and there is no glare or reflection on the lenses. Sunglasses and tinted lenses are not permitted.
How is the Sri Lanka passport photo different from a US passport photo?
Sri Lanka uses the 35x45mm ICAO standard format, while the US uses a 2x2 inch (51x51mm) square format. Sri Lanka requires a light grey background and matte finish, while the US requires a white background.
Do I need to visit an authorized studio for my passport photo?
Yes. Since August 2015, the Sri Lanka Department of Immigration requires digital photographs submitted through authorized studios. The studio captures your photo, uploads it digitally, and gives you a Studio Acknowledgement Note to include with your application.
Can I wear a head covering in my Sri Lanka passport photo?
Head coverings are generally not allowed. Exceptions are made for religious or cultural headwear (such as hijabs) and medical head coverings with a doctor's statement. The face must remain fully visible without shadows.
