What to know about Philippines 2x2 photo

In the Philippines, “2x2” is a convention used by several agencies: the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), the Bureau of Immigration, consulates for dual citizenship and NBI clearance requested from abroad. They all use 2 × 2 in (51 × 51 mm) with a plain white background, but maximum age and attire vary by procedure.

From everyday portrait to compliant result: Philippines 2x2 photo

We correct the framing and prepare the white background while preserving your natural appearance.

How it is actually submitted

PRC online services take a digital upload; the Bureau of Immigration, consulates and NBI applications from abroad take printed copies. We deliver the digital file plus a 2 × 2 in print version. Before printing, check the checklist of the specific agency.

How to prepare

Use a white background and even light, and face the camera without glasses. For the PRC, wear decent attire with a collar. Check the maximum age your procedure accepts: three months for some Bureau of Immigration procedures and the NBI, six for the PRC.

Common rejection reasons

  • Using another agency’s rules without checking
  • Photo older than the procedure allows
  • Glasses or non-white background
  • Procedure that requires a name tag or a different size

We check the requirements for you

You don't need to memorize measurements or biometric rules. Imagokit applies this document's official setup and checks the result before delivery.
