Verified official information
Since March 2025 Japan has accepted new and renewal passport applications online. The photo can be captured in the application or uploaded as a file; paper applications continue to use a 35 × 45 mm physical photograph.
We correct the framing and prepare the white background while preserving your natural appearance.
For a domestic online application, a studio file must be JPG and no larger than 600 KB. Applications abroad accept JPG, JPEG, BMP or PNG in RGB, normally 20 KB to 2 MB.
Use a front-facing photograph taken within the last six months, without shadows or alteration. Leave enough space around the head for system framing without cutting hair or chin.
