Comprobador de fotografías de pasaportes de Sierra Leona

Sierra Leone 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 Sierra Leone Immigration Service under the Ministry of Interior. Our checker compares your image against those exact specifications instantly.

Common Sierra Leone passport rejection reasons

Sierra Leone-specific: Ordering an off-spec size — the international 35×45 mm default is not 35×45 mm used by Sierra Leone, and studios often print the wrong size unless the exact dimensions are stated in millimetres.
Sierra Leone-specific: Choosing an off-white studio backdrop — many African passport scanners read cream as a coloured background and reject the file.
Sierra Leone-specific: Uploading a photo whose background reads as off-white or cream once compressed — always verify the RGB values before submitting.
Sierra Leone-specific: Submitting a photo older than 6 months even if you look the same — Sierra Leone Immigration Service under the Ministry of Interior matches EXIF dates against the application date when available.

How to pass the checker

Vuelva a disparar con una iluminación plana y uniforme
Colóquese a 1,5 m de una pared lisa que coincida con el fondo blanco requerido. Utilice dos fuentes de luz suave (o la luz de una ventana a través de una cortina delgada) a cada lado de su cara para eliminar la sombra que provoca la mayoría de los rechazos en Sierra Leona.

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 Sierra Leone Immigration Service under the Ministry of Interior expects.

Reemplace el fondo si es del color incorrecto
If our checker flags the background as the wrong shade, run the image through our background remover and place it on the exact white Sierra Leone requires. This single fix resolves about 30% of all rejections we see.

Verificar la cobertura de la cara con el corrector.
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. Sierra Leone biometric matchers explicitly check this.

Preguntas frecuentes

Where do I apply for a passport in Sierra Leone?
Sierra Leone nationals apply through Sierra Leone Immigration Service under the Ministry of Interior at the nearest passport office. Most offices require an online appointment before walk-in submission. Booking an appointment online first is standard practice and rarely optional.

Is a white background required in Sierra Leone passport photos?
Yes. Sierra Leone Immigration Service under the Ministry of Interior requires a white background at the 35×45 mm print size. Substituting another colour or an off-white tone triggers rejection at the biometric pre-check even when the framing and lighting are otherwise correct.

What is the Sierra Leone passport photo size in pixels?
413×531 pixels at 300 DPI. At 300 DPI that maps to the physical 35×45 mm print. If the online portal specifies a different pixel target, resize from a 300 DPI master file rather than re-cropping a smaller original.

¿Qué tan preciso es este verificador de fotografías de pasaportes de los Sierra Leona?
Our checker runs the same compliance tests automated systems at the Sierra Leone Immigration Service under the Ministry of Interior 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.

¿ImageGates carga mi foto en un servidor?
No: cada comprobación se ejecuta íntegramente en su navegador mediante WebAssembly. Tu foto nunca sale de tu dispositivo. Esto es único entre la mayoría de los verificadores en línea y es por eso que la herramienta también funciona sin conexión una vez cargada.
