What these millimetres work out to

  • In a 50 × 50 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 35–40 mm from the chin to the crown.
  • Of the 50 mm of height that leaves 10–15 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
  • At 300 dpi that is a head 413–472 pixels tall — below 413 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
  • Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.43 times as wide, 1.11 times as tall and 1.59 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.

02Three steps

How to crop it, in three steps

  3. 03

    Save the 50 × 50 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

03Same country

Do not confuse it with another Barbados document

Barbados does not use one frame for everything. This page is about passport — 50 × 50 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

04What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background without textures or noticeable gradients.
  • Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
  • Frame. Exactly 50 × 50 mm, by the document’s rules.
  • A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
  • File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.

What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes

  • Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
  • A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
  • Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 591 × 591 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
  • Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.

What the source confirms

  • Immigration Department of Barbados, passports: a citizen may apply from the Immigration Department in Barbados or at one of Barbados' diplomatic and consular missions abroad; a person over 16 completes Form A and children under 16 Form B; the application form is accompanied by two photographs, not more than five centimetres by five centimetres, taken by a professional photographer.
  • Same page: the applicant signs in the boxes at the bottom of page two and the declaration in section 11 on page four; the form and one photograph must also be certified by a person authorised to act as a guarantor.
  • Same page, the lists: first-time applications need the completed Form A or B, two passport size photos, the original and a copy of the Barbados birth certificate (and a citizenship document if not a citizen by birth), the Barbados ID card, and documents for a change of name or a marriage or divorce for women; renewals need the completed form, the previous passport and two passport size photos.
