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 matte photo paper, not regular printer paper. When printing, select "actual size" or "no scaling" to ensure the photos are exactly 35 × 45 mm (1.4" × 1.8").

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Singapore NRIC photo?
35×45mm (3.5×4.5cm). For digital submission, the size is 400×514 pixels with a maximum file size of 60KB. This is the same size used for Singapore passports.
Can I wear glasses in my Singapore IC photo?
Yes, but only if the lenses are clear and untinted with thin frames. Your eyes must be fully visible with no glare or shadows from the glasses. Sunglasses and tinted lenses are not allowed.
Can I wear a headscarf or religious head covering?
Yes, religious head coverings are permitted but must not obscure your facial features. The covering should not be white to ensure contrast with the white background.
Is the Singapore IC photo the same as passport photo?
Yes. Singapore uses the same 35×45mm photo specifications for NRIC, passport, and visa applications. One compliant photo works for all ICA documents.
How recent must my Singapore IC photo be?
Your photo must be taken within the last 3 months. It should accurately represent your current appearance.
