Vietnam Passport Photo Online — 40×60 mm (4×6 cm), Print & Digital Upload

Applying for a Vietnamese passport (hộ chiếu) through the Ministry of Public Security's Public Service Portal? The portal's own photo standard calls for a 40×60 mm (4×6 cm) photo on a white background — and for online submission, the digital file has to be encoded as JPEG 2000 (.jp2), not a standard JPEG. Upload a recent photo and IDPhotoBy resizes and crops it to that exact standard, with the Vietnam passport document already selected.

Unlike some ID documents, the Vietnam ordinary passport has two output needs: a printable 40×60 mm sheet for an in-person or postal application, and a JPEG 2000 digital file for the online channel. IDPhotoBy prepares both from the one photo you upload.

The Ministry of Public Security's own Public Service Portal (Bộ Công an — dichvucong.bocongan.gov.vn) publishes the photo standard for the ordinary passport procedure. Check your photo against this checklist:

• Size 40×60 mm (4×6 cm) — the exact frame the portal specifies.
• White background — plain white, no other color.
• Straight, front-facing view, both ears visible, bareheaded, no glasses.
• Head height about 38 mm, chin to crown — the point IDPhotoBy centers your head on, inside the 60 mm frame.
• Face area about 75% of the photo — your face should fill most of the frame.
• Eye line positioning — the space above your eyes should be about two-thirds the height of the space below your eyes.
• Newly taken — not older than 6 months.
• Minimum resolution 300 dpi — a stated floor, not an exact pixel target.

The portal's photo standard doesn't specify a facial expression — but as with most ID photos, a natural, neutral look (no big smile, mouth closed) is the safest choice. After you upload your photo to the portal, its own software automatically checks the image quality — so a clear, correctly framed file matters before you submit.

The Vietnam ordinary passport procedure can be filed in person, by post, or online — and the online channel has a file requirement most tools miss: the portal's photo-standard page states the upload format as JPEG 2000 (.jp2), not a plain JPEG. IDPhotoBy outputs a 472×709 px JPEG 2000 file for the online upload — derived from the 40×60 mm frame at the portal's stated 300 dpi minimum — alongside a print-ready 40×60 mm sheet for the in-person or postal channel. The portal states no file-size ceiling in kilobytes for this upload.

No. This page prepares the photo for the Vietnam ordinary passport (hộ chiếu phổ thông), filed with the Ministry of Public Security. If you're applying for a Vietnam e-visa instead, that's a different document with its own requirements — see our separate Vietnam visa photo page.

• Upload a recent, well-lit photo with the tool on this page — the Vietnam passport document is already selected.
• IDPhotoBy resizes and crops your photo to 40×60 mm, checks the white background, and positions your head to match the portal's stated face-area and eye-line proportions.
• Preview the result — check the framing, the background, and that your face is straight and clearly visible with no glasses.
• Download both outputs: a print-ready 40×60 mm sheet and a JPEG 2000 (.jp2) file sized 472×709 px for the online upload.

IDPhotoBy resizes and crops the photo you upload to the portal's 40×60 mm standard, checks the background against the required white standard, and outputs both a printable sheet and a JPEG 2000 digital file. It does not retouch, beautify, or otherwise edit your face — your features are left exactly as they are.

We also make no acceptance promise — no online tool honestly can. The file is prepared to the portal's published photo standard; the portal's own automatic quality check, followed by the reviewing officer, makes the final decision.

Requirements can change — check the Ministry of Public Security's Public Service Portal (dichvucong.bocongan.gov.vn) before you apply; it is the final authority.
