Country and document labels, canonical source page, verification level, official citations, source facts, physical and digital file contracts, and the Anfas.Pro processing preset.
anfasProcessingPreset is an implementation aid used by Anfas.Pro. It is not automatically an issuing-authority rule. Check inferredFields, verificationLevel and the cited source URLs before reuse.This descriptive snapshot is generated from the cited dataset records, not from search-volume estimates or user uploads. It shows why a single “universal passport photo size” is an unsafe assumption.
82 of 128applicant-photo profiles with stored physical dimensions use 35 × 45 mm (64.1%).
15distinct primary physical sizes appear in that applicant-photo cohort; accepted alternative sizes are not included.
30profiles publish a digital pixel contract. A profile can have both physical and digital requirements, so these groups overlap.
56profiles use authority capture or a hybrid flow, compared with 139 applicant-photo profiles; 41 do not state a submission mode.
| Size | Profiles | Share of 128 |
|---|---|---|
| 35 × 45 mm | 82 | 64.1% |
| 51 × 51 mm | 10 | 7.8% |
| 30 × 40 mm | 5 | 3.9% |
| 33 × 48 mm | 5 | 3.9% |
| 40 × 60 mm | 4 | 3.1% |
| 50 × 60 mm | 4 | 3.1% |
| 50 × 70 mm | 4 | 3.1% |
| 26 × 32 mm | 3 | 2.3% |
The remaining 7 primary sizes are available in the JSON and CSV distributions.
96 profiles have an exact official specification, 117 have official general guidance, 4 have partial official coverage, and 19 use an ICAO-derived baseline. These labels describe source precision, not whether one country is “stricter” than another.
