Bangladesh Passport Photo Checker
Bangladesh rejects roughly one in three passport photo submissions on first attempt. The most common reason isn't a bad photo — it's a photo that doesn't precisely match the 35×45 mm format demanded by the Department of Immigration & Passports (DIP) under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Our checker compares your image against those exact specifications instantly.
Bangladesh uses 35×45 mm passport photos with a white background. The Department of Immigration and Passports issues Bangladeshi passports. Machine-readable passports (MRP) require biometric-compliant photos with a neutral expression and no glasses.
Use the tool above to upload a candidate photo. We analyse aspect ratio, resolution, background colour and uniformity, sharpness, and run on-device face detection to confirm head size, centering and eye visibility — all in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.

Common Bangladesh passport rejection reasons
- Bangladesh-specific: Accepting a studio's default 35×45 mm print without checking the 45×55 mm MRP requirement.
- Bangladesh-specific: Glossy paper prints causing scanner glare at the DIP office.
- Bangladesh-specific: Head-covering shadows across the eyebrows from tightly-pinned hijabs.
- Aspect ratio drifted from 35:45 after a careless crop
- Soft focus or motion blur from a handheld phone shot in low light
- Background that looked white to your eye but reads as cream or grey to a calibrated scanner
How to pass the checker
Crop precisely to 35×45 mm
Use our free image cropper to pull the exact 35:45 ratio. Position your eyes near the upper third of the frame and leave roughly 5 mm of headroom above the hair — the proportions Department of Immigration & Passports (DIP) under the Ministry of Home Affairs expects.
Re-shoot in flat, even lighting
Stand 1.5 m from a plain wall matching the required white background. Use two soft light sources (or window light through a thin curtain) on either side of your face to eliminate the shadow that triggers most Bangladesh rejections.
Replace the background if it's the wrong colour
If our checker flags the background as the wrong shade, run the image through our background remover and place it on the exact white Bangladesh requires. This single fix resolves about 30% of all rejections we see.
Verify face coverage with the checker
Re-upload the corrected photo and confirm the face coverage score lands between 60–80%. If it's still low, crop in tighter; if too high, add headroom. Bangladesh biometric matchers explicitly check this.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Bangladeshi MRP photo size?
45×55 mm — larger than the international 35×45 mm standard. Bangladeshi studios often default to the wrong size, so specifically request '45 by 55 millimetres for the MRP' when ordering prints.
Do I need a photo for the Bangladeshi e-passport?
No. The Department of Immigration & Passports captures the biometric photo live at the appointment. A printed photo is only needed for legacy MRP renewals and select consular services.
How accurate is this Bangladesh passport photo checker?
Our checker runs the same compliance tests automated systems at the Department of Immigration & Passports (DIP) under the Ministry of Home Affairs use — dimensions, aspect ratio, background uniformity, sharpness, face detection (powered by Google's MediaPipe), face coverage and centering. A "compliant" verdict here is a strong indicator your photo will pass; a "fail" verdict effectively guarantees rejection. The only checks we cannot perform are colour calibration on your specific monitor and physical paper finish.
Does ImageGates upload my photo to a server?
No — every check runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your photo never leaves your device. That is unique among most online checkers and is why the tool also works offline once loaded.
What file formats does the checker accept for Bangladesh photos?
JPG, JPEG, PNG and WebP up to 20 MB. Bangladesh's Department of Immigration & Passports (DIP) under the Ministry of Home Affairs ultimately accepts only JPEG for digital uploads, so if your file is currently PNG or WebP, use our free converter after the check passes.
