Tanzania passport photo size & rules
Tanzania issues its electronic passport through the Immigration Services Department, and applicants provide a photograph in the standard 35x45mm size. At 300 DPI this corresponds to 413x531 pixels, a resolution appropriate for the e-passport enrolment and for the online application system operated by the department. Tanzanian citizens renewing the e-passport from overseas follow the identical photo rules enforced at immigration offices at home.
The Immigration Services Department expects a recent colour photograph taken against a plain white background with even lighting so that no shadows fall on the face or behind the head. The applicant should face the camera directly with a neutral expression, mouth closed, and both eyes clearly open. As with most biometric standards, the head should occupy about 70 to 80 percent of the frame so the features are large and easy to capture. Common issues that lead to a retake include dim or uneven lighting, reflections from glasses, and backgrounds that are not plain white, and the same photo format is convenient for national identity records and for visa applications when travelling.
