Maldives passport photo size & rules
A Maldives passport photo is submitted to the Department of Immigration and Emigration, the government body that issues passports to Maldivian citizens across the island nation. The standard size is 35mm wide by 45mm high, taken as a recent front-facing colour image. The applicant should look straight at the camera with the head centred, and the face should be large in the frame, with the chin-to-crown measurement generally falling between 32mm and 36mm so features are clearly captured for identity verification.
Because Maldivian passports are used for travel throughout South Asia, the Gulf, and further afield, photos need to satisfy widely recognised standards. The background should be plain white with uniform lighting, no shadows behind the head, and no distracting objects. Expression must be neutral with the mouth closed and both eyes open and visible, and hair should not obscure the eyes or facial outline. Sunglasses and tinted lenses are not allowed, while head coverings worn for religious observance are accepted as long as the entire face stays clearly exposed.

As official criteria can change, be sure to check the latest requirements with the Department of Immigration and Emigration before you print the photo or lodge it with your passport application.
