What these millimetres work out to
- In a 35 × 45 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 31.5–36 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 45 mm of height that leaves 9–13.5 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 372–425 pixels tall — below 372 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
What this document is
Seychelles passports are issued by Immigration and Civil Status (ICS) at the Passport Office in Victoria. Since the move to biometric passports in November 2022 the application is made in person, and the photo, fingerprints and digital signature are taken at enrolment. Abroad, the embassies in Paris and Abu Dhabi and the High Commission in London enrol applicants after an e-verification and an appointment; a first passport needs a birth certificate and the NIN card.

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 35 × 45 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 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Seychelles-specific things to know
- In Seychelles the passport photograph is taken at enrolment together with the fingerprints and the signature — there is no application form and no photograph to bring.
- Overseas enrolment is possible only at three missions (Paris, Abu Dhabi, London), after the old passport is verified in Seychelles, and the new passport comes by courier about three weeks after the old one is received.
- A printed photograph is asked for only for the ID card renewal from overseas, with the back notarised by a licensed notary public.

Where these numbers come from

What the source confirms
- Immigration and Civil Status Department, «Applying for a Seychelles Passport»: the biometric passport was introduced in November 2022 with a microchip; the process does not require an application form; applicants present themselves at the enrolment office with the documents (renewal: the old passport and the National Identity Number card; first time: the National Identity Number card); after vetting and payment at the cashier the photograph, fingerprints and digital signature are taken; the passport may be collected 72 hours (three working days) after enrolment.
- Same page, overseas applicants (Seychellois students and the diaspora): renewal starts by sending a copy of the passport to the Senior Immigration Officer of the Passport Section in Seychelles for verification; the applicant is then told to enrol at the designated enrolment station — the Seychelles embassies in Paris and Abu Dhabi and the High Commission in London — with the old passport, and pays the equivalent of SR 750 by bank transfer; the captured biometric information is sent electronically to immigration headquarters in Victoria and the passport is returned by courier three weeks after the receipt of the expired or expiring passport; for minor children a birth certificate is needed.
- Department FAQ, «Seychelles Bio-Metric Passport»: the biometric passport requires the applicant to be present for the collection of bio-data during enrolment, so an online application is not possible; a Seychellois abroad whose passport expired can get an Emergency Travel Document valid six months to return to Seychelles.
- Department, «National Identity Card»: a Seychellois living overseas who renews the ID card sends a notarised passport photo — a recent passport-sized photo taken according to Seychelles passport photo requirements, with the back notarised by a licensed notary public — the expired ID card and a letter to the Chief Civil Status Officer, by post; persons below the age of 16 do not have their photo taken for the ID card.
