Verified official information
What to know about Sri Lanka passport photo
Sri Lanka no longer accepts printed passport photographs. Every applicant, including children, must obtain a digital image from an authorised studio or Department facility.
From everyday portrait to compliant result: Sri Lanka passport photo
We adjust the size and framing to the document's exact format without replacing the background or altering your appearance.
How it is actually submitted
The authorised studio sends the image directly to the system and issues an acknowledgement note or number. That proof is submitted with the application; Imagokit cannot replace the accredited channel.
How to prepare
Use a studio on the official list and keep the acknowledgement. The image is valid for only six months, and fingerprints are captured in person where applicable.
Common rejection reasons
- Using a non-authorised studio
- Bringing prints instead of the acknowledgement
- Submitting a capture older than six months
- Losing the studio acknowledgement number
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.
