Netherlands Passport Photo Requirements
Last updated: July 24, 2026
Netherlands follows the same widely-used 35×45 mm photo convention as the EU's Schengen visa and most other 35×45 mm passport/visa destinations — chin-to-crown head height of 71–80% on a 45 mm-tall photo.
Photo Size
| Requirement | |
|---|---|
| Physical (print) | 35 × 45 mm |
| Digital (upload) | 413 × 531 px |
The pixel size above is the exact size our tool outputs, sized to match the official physical spec at 300 DPI — it is not a minimum you need to exceed. We haven't independently verified whether this destination's own upload system also accepts a wider range of sizes, so treat the exact size above as the safe, always-accepted choice.
Head Size
Chin to crown must be 71–80% of the photo's height — about 32–36 mm on a 45 mm-tall print.
Background Color
This destination generally accepts white, light grey, or light blue.
