What the rules actually say

Indonesia's passport application moved to the M-Paspor mobile app in 2020, fully replacing in-person walk-in service. Applicants submit the application and photo digitally, then book a biometric appointment at their local Kanim (immigration office) for fingerprint capture and photo verification.

The 35 × 45 mm specification is ICAO-compliant and matches most Southeast Asian neighbours. Pure white background is required. Indonesian photo studios offer compliant photos for IDR 30,000-75,000 with same-day printing — most cluster around Kanim offices in major cities.

The same specification works for the e-KTP (electronic national ID card) and the SIM (driving licence). One photo session every 5-10 years covers all three renewals.

From abroad (where 9 million Indonesians live), the same specification applies at embassies and consulates. Major missions in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, and the Gulf states handle high migrant-worker volume with dedicated passport lanes.

Top reasons Indonesia passport photos get rejected

Photo too old (over 6 months)

Privacy: what we do with your photo

The Indonesia passport photo maker runs entirely in your browser. Cropping, scaling, and background colour replacement happen on your device using the Canvas API. The background-removal step uses our private worker server, processes the image in memory only, and deletes it immediately after returning the cutout — no logs, no storage, no training data.

Questions, answered

Indonesia Passport Photo Maker — frequently asked questions

What's the M-Paspor app?

Ditjen Imigrasi's official mobile app for Indonesian passport applications and renewals. Submit application, upload photo, book biometric appointment at your local Kanim (immigration office). Available on iOS and Android.

Can I use my e-KTP photo for the passport?

Same 35 × 45 mm specification. If your e-KTP photo is within the 6-month window, it works for the passport too. Most Indonesians prefer a fresh photo for each application.

Where do I lodge my passport application in Indonesia?

At any Kanim (Kantor Imigrasi) — there are 130+ across Indonesia. M-Paspor app appointments are required; walk-in service was phased out in 2020.

Are smiles allowed?

No. Neutral expression with closed mouth. Imigrasi's biometric scanner is sensitive to facial landmark changes.

Can Indonesian citizens renew abroad?

Yes, at any Indonesian embassy or consulate. Same 35 × 45 mm spec. Major missions in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Riyadh, and Jeddah handle high migrant-worker volume.
