IC Photo Go SG · Singapore
Photo size, lighting, background and positioning guidance.
Ensure your Singapore passport or NRIC photo has even lighting on your face. Avoid harsh shadows or bright spots that may lead to rejection under ICA photo guidelines. The IC Photo Singapore app helps you achieve well-balanced lighting effortlessly.
Use a plain white or light grey background. Avoid busy or cluttered backgrounds that can cause your passport photo to be rejected. With IC Photo Singapore, background cleanup is done automatically.
Stand at a neutral distance from the camera with your face fully visible. Avoid tilting your head or shoulders. The IC Photo Singapore app helps with proper alignment and framing for passport and NRIC submissions.
