The published rule for this document’s photograph — from Nigeria Immigration Service, as it was read on 2026-09-19 — and a way to make one that meets it without sending your face to anybody.

## The figures
| What is measured | What this rule publishes |
| --- | --- |
| Print size | no print size — this rule is for a web form |
| Head, chin to crown | 60.0% to 80.0% (guidance) |
| Eye line, from the bottom | 50.0% to 62.0% (guidance) |
| Background | Plain white |
| Online application photo | exactly 600 x 800 px, JPEG, up to 2.00 MB |
[Make this photo](https://abox.tools/id-photo/#ng-passport) Opens the photo tool with this rule already chosen. It runs in your browser: the photograph is never uploaded, and there is no account and no watermark.
## What else this rule says
- This preset records the portal’s 600 x 800 pixel upload, under 2 MB, on white. The source was checked on 19 September 2026; the current portal’s measurement instructions could not be rechecked here. Use its image-compliance check and current instructions before applying. The immigration office takes the official photograph.
- No head-height band is published for this one, and its frame is not the usual one, so ICAO’s figures do not carry over. The band shown is a loose one read out of what the rule says in words; it is guidance and is never marked as a failure.
## Where these figures come from
[Transcribed from Nigeria Immigration Service — Passport Application Portal, Passport Photo Dimensions Instructions. Checked 2026-09-19. Rules change; the figures above are what to check against the form in front of you.](https://passport.immigration.gov.ng/)
## What the tool does with them
- Locks the crop to this document’s shape, and draws the head and eye bands inside it, so you can see the rule on your own photograph instead of reading about it.
- Finds the crown, the chin and both pupils by measuring the picture — no face model is downloaded — and says in millimetres whether the head is too large or too small for this rule.
- Reads the background colour and how evenly it is lit, and says which of the two is the problem when there is one.
- Writes the print at the exact millimetres with the resolution in the file, a sheet of them with cut marks, and the upload file at the pixel and file size this rule states.
