Senegal passport photo size & rules
Senegal's biometric passport is handled by the passport service under the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance within the Ministry of Interior. Applicants must supply a photograph measuring 35mm by 45mm, taken against a plain white background with gentle, even lighting. Your head should sit centred in the frame, taking up about 70 to 80 percent of its height, while you face the camera squarely and keep a neutral expression so the biometric data captures your features precisely. Senegalese citizens enrolling for the biometric passport overseas must provide a photo matching the domestic specification precisely.
The complete face must be visible, from the top of the head down to the chin, without shadows on the backdrop or across the eyes. Photos are frequently rejected when the background is coloured, the lighting is uneven, glasses cast a glare, or the applicant is wearing a hat. A well-prepared photograph is valuable for Senegalese travellers moving freely within ECOWAS and applying for visas to Europe and beyond, where officials match the printed image to the person presenting the passport.
Pixohub prepares your Senegal passport photo 100% in the browser, which means the picture is never uploaded and stays private on your own device, and the service is entirely free. Because official standards can change, please confirm the latest requirements with the Senegalese passport service or Directorate of Territorial Surveillance before printing your photo or lodging your application.
