Passport (Hộ chiếu): 40×60mm (VN_passport)

⚠️ Vietnam's passport photo is 40×60mm (4×6cm) — NOT the Schengen 35×45mm.

  • Size: 40×60mm (4×6cm)
  • Face: 80–90% of the photo height — a larger face ratio than most countries
  • Background: white or light grey, plain
  • Expression: neutral, mouth closed, eyes open (standard biometric practice)
  • Recency: taken within the last 6 months (standard biometric practice — confirm with the issuing authority)
  • Editing: strict — no retouching, filters or AI alteration of appearance

CCCD National ID Card: 30×40mm (VN_cccd)

The Căn Cước Công Dân (chip-based national ID card) uses a smaller 3×4cm photo — a separate spec from the passport.

  • Size: 30×40mm (3×4cm)
  • Face: 70–80% of the photo height
  • Background: light-coloured, plain
  • Editing: not specified in our verified DB entry — submit an unedited original to be safe

⚠️ Strict No-Editing Policy — Where Our Tool Fits

Our verified spec DB marks the Vietnam passport entry editingPolicy='strict': the submitted photo must be an unaltered original. Use Retouch.im to check framing and crop to 40×60mm (or 30×40mm for CCCD), and submit an unedited original for the application itself. Preview free — HD download $1, 300-DPI print sheet $2.

Common Rejection Reasons

  • Wrong size — passport 40×60mm (4×6cm), CCCD 30×40mm (3×4cm)
  • Submitting a Schengen 35×45mm photo for the passport
  • Face not 80–90% of height (passport) or 70–80% (CCCD)
  • Background not white/light grey, or has shadows
  • Edited, filtered or retouched photo
  • Photo older than 6 months
