Passport Photo Size for Oman: 40 x 60 mm, White Background

Oman passport photo size at a glance

The commonly published size for an Oman passport photo is 40 x 60 mm (4 x 6 cm) with a plain white background. At 300 DPI this equals about 472 x 709 pixels, which is the size most online forms ask for.

Some sources say a light blue background is also accepted for certain documents. Because this can depend on the document and the office, confirm with the Royal Oman Police or your nearest Omani embassy before you print or upload. Our passport photo size guide compares Oman with other countries.

Background colour

Use a plain, evenly lit white background with no shadows, patterns or objects. A grey wall or a shadow behind your head is the most common reason for rejection. If you are unsure, read our background colour rules.

Head position and expression

Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, mouth closed and both eyes open. Keep your head level and your shoulders square. The whole face, from chin to forehead, must be visible, and hair should not cover the eyes. If you wear a head covering, the face must still be fully visible, as explained in our guide to glasses and head coverings.

How to take the photo at home

Stand about 60 cm from a plain light wall and face a window in daylight. Ask a helper to hold the phone at eye level from about 1.2 to 1.5 metres away, or use the timer. Take at least ten shots and pick the sharpest, most neutral one. The full steps are in how to take a passport photo at home. Do not use filters or beauty mode, and avoid photos sent through chat apps, which are compressed.

Make your Oman passport photo free

Open the Uphoto home page, choose Oman from the country list, upload your photo and keep your face inside the oval guide. Check the white background in the preview, then download a JPG for online upload or a PDF for printing.

For uploads, check the rules in our upload guide. For printing at home or in a shop, see printing passport photos at home and always print at actual size.

Common reasons photos are sent back

The usual causes are a wrong size, a grey or shadowed background, a smile or tilted head, glare on glasses, an old photo and a blurry or over-edited image. See common passport photo mistakes and the renewal checklist. Photos should also be recent, so take a fresh one for each application.
