How should a Bangladesh passport photo look?
Bangladesh runs two parallel formats: a 25×30 mm digital JPEG upload through the e-passport portal, and a 45×55 mm print for legacy MRP and embassy applications. White background is the standard, but applicants cannot wear white clothing: the spec explicitly bans it. Validity around six months. Thick-framed and reflective glasses are not permitted.

Requirements & Notes
Bangladeshi photo follows ICAO standards. White background required.
The body that sets the spec
The standard is published by the Department of Immigration and Passports (DIP); the e-passport.gov.bd portal accepts 25×30 mm digital uploads. Overseas/legacy MRP applications submit a 45×55 mm white-background print. Both channels work from the same frame, exported as two outputs.
Workflow after the shoot
The frame goes to PhotoID Studio and the Bangladesh preset is selected; the app aligns the face, checks for the no-white-clothing rule, cleans the background to pure white and exports both 25×30 mm digital JPEG and 45×55 mm print outputs. Both come from the same frame in one click.
Capture setup and direction
Seat the customer 1.5-2 m in front of the white backdrop with shoulders parallel to the camera. Camera on a tripod, lens at eye level. Standard setup: a 50-85 mm portrait lens, f/8 aperture, a softbox at 45° with a reflector on the opposite side. The customer wears a dark colour, not white; thick-framed glasses come off; only thin, glare-free medical glasses may be tolerated.
Reasons for rejection at DIP
• White clothing: DIP explicitly bans white clothing on the applicant. • Non-white backdrop or visible shadow. • Thick-framed, reflective or tinted glasses. • A frame older than six months. • Wrong format upload: confusing 25×30 mm digital with 45×55 mm print. • A smile, visible teeth, or an open mouth. • Hair below the chin or hiding face features.
For studios in Bangladesh
Bangladeshi studios run two parallel outputs: 25×30 mm digital for the e-passport portal and 45×55 mm print for legacy/embassy. The PhotoID Studio Bangladesh preset locks both outputs.

Frequently asked questions
- What size is the Bangladesh passport photo?
Two formats: 25×30 mm digital JPEG for the e-passport portal; 45×55 mm print for legacy MRP/embassy. Two outputs from the same frame.
- Can I be photographed in white clothing?
No. DIP explicitly bans white clothing; the applicant must contrast with the white backdrop, so a dark colour is preferred.

Thick-framed, reflective and tinted glasses are not allowed. Thin, glare-free medical glasses may be tolerated with careful approval.
