Indonesian passport photo: the rules

What the official rules say about the photo for the Indonesian passport (applied on M-Paspor, photo taken at the immigration office), with the source we checked. Rules read on imigrasi.go.id on 12 November 2026.

You don't upload or bring a passport photo: after applying on the M-Paspor app, you go to the immigration office (kantor imigrasi) where you are photographed for the passport's data page. The office uses a white background, so the Directorate General of Immigration advises not wearing white and keeping hair off the ears and eyes.

Selain wawancara, pemohon akan menjalani sesi foto untuk halaman biodata paspor.
Sebaiknya hindari menggunakan kaos santai saat akan wawancara dan foto di kantor imigrasi.
Seluruh bagian wajah pemegang paspor harus terlihat jelas. Rambut yang panjang dapat disingkap ke belakang telinga dan bahu. Selain itu, dahi dan mata juga tidak terhalangi oleh rambut.
Latar belakang foto pada paspor menggunakan warna putih. Oleh karena itu, warna putih tidak disarankan agar seluruh bagian yang masuk dalam frame foto dari kepala hingga bahu dapat terlihat dengan jelas.
