Frequently Asked Questions - China
Chinese passport photos require 33x48 mm (33mm wide x 48mm high) with a white or light blue background. The head must measure 28-33 mm from chin to crown, and eyes must be positioned 28-40 mm from bottom from the bottom of the photo.
Chinese passport photos require a white or light blue background. The background must be uniform, plain, and without any patterns or shadows. Light blue (#9fc5e8 to #cfe2ff range) is commonly used and accepted.
No, a neutral expression with mouth closed is required. No smiling, showing teeth, frowning, or raised eyebrows. Your mouth must be closed and teeth should not be visible. This is strictly enforced for Chinese passports.
No, glasses are strictly prohibited in Chinese passport photos. They must be removed entirely. If you have a medical necessity, you may need special documentation, but generally glasses are not permitted under any circumstances.
Yes, both ears should be clearly visible in Chinese passport photos. Hair should not cover the ears. If you have long hair, it should be tucked behind your ears to ensure both are visible.
Religious or medical head coverings are permitted but must not obscure the face. The face must be fully visible from chin to forehead, and both edges of the face must be visible. A clear view of the hairline may be required. Official documentation may be needed.
Passport photos must be taken within the last 6 months to reflect your current appearance. Photos older than 6 months will be rejected, even if you haven't changed much.
Yes, with special considerations: infant's eyes must be open, head supported (no hands visible), and they must be looking at the camera. For babies, they can be lying on a white or light blue sheet. The same size requirements (33x48mm) apply. No pacifiers, toys, or other objects in the photo.
Chinese visa photos generally follow the same size (33x48mm) and requirements as passport photos. However, some Chinese visa types might accept slightly different specifications. Our tool creates photos that meet both Chinese passport and standard visa requirements.
