Bangladesh Passport Photo Requirements
The honest answer most sites won't give: for an adult Bangladesh e-passport, you probably don't submit a photo at all.
For an adult Bangladesh e-passport, you probably do not need to submit a photo at all. Official Bangladesh mission guidance states that the biometric photo is captured in person during enrolment at the Department of Immigration and Passports office or your Bangladesh mission - no photograph is attached to the adult e-passport form. That is the opposite of what nearly every "Bangladesh passport photo size" article tells you.
You may still need a photo for a related case - a child under six, a national ID or exam form, or visa and mission paperwork - and those are covered below. But for the adult e-passport itself, the honest answer is that there is no photo to prepare.
Why every site gives a different size
Search for a Bangladesh passport photo size and you will be told 35 x 45mm, 45 x 55mm, 25 x 30mm, and 300 x 300px, all stated confidently. They disagree because there is no submit-photo size for the adult e-passport form to state. Those numbers come from other Bangladeshi documents - a national ID, an exam form, a visa application - and get borrowed to fill a gap that does not exist. The Bangladesh e-Passport portal and mission guidance describe an on-site biometric capture, not a photo upload.
The cases where you do need a photo
A few related situations genuinely need a prepared photo, and the sizes differ by case:
- A child under six. Some missions require a printed photo for young children, typically on a gray background - the Florida and Wellington missions cite a 3R print, Ottawa cites 4R (4 x 6 inch). Check which your mission wants.
- NID, exam, or voter-ID forms. These general Bangladeshi government forms commonly use a 300 x 300px square JPEG, around 20 to 100KB. That is not the e-passport photo - it is for those separate forms.
- Visa or mission paperwork. Where a photo is asked for, it is usually 35 x 45mm on a white background. Mission paperwork varies, so confirm the exact requirement.
How to make one, if you need it
The Bangladesh photo maker offers exactly those cases as presets - a 3R or 4R gray-background child print, a 300 x 300px NID/exam square, and a 35 x 45mm white visa photo - so you pick the one that applies above the crop box. It sets the size and fills the right background behind a photo whose own background has been removed, all in your browser with nothing uploaded. Requirements vary by mission, so confirm with your specific Bangladesh mission before relying on any of these. For the general passport-photo rules that apply where a photo is needed, see passport photo requirements.
FAQ
Do I need a photo for a Bangladesh e-passport?
Usually not. For adult e-passport applications, official mission guidance says no photograph is attached - the biometric photo is taken in person during enrolment at the DIP office or your Bangladesh mission.
Why does every website give a different Bangladesh passport photo size?
Because there is no submit-photo size for the adult e-passport form, so sites borrow numbers from other Bangladeshi documents - 35 x 45mm, 45 x 55mm, 25 x 30mm, 300 x 300px. They are guessing at a spec that does not exist.
What about my child under 6?
Some missions require a printed photo for young children, usually on a gray background - Florida and Wellington cite a 3R print, Ottawa cites 4R. Check your specific mission before printing.
What about an NID, exam, or voter-ID photo?
Those forms commonly use a 300 x 300px square JPEG, around 20 to 100KB. It is not the e-passport photo - it is for those separate forms.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. All processing runs in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.
