Educational summary for travelers and applicants; not legal advice. Compare every detail with the issuing authority’s current checklist before you submit.

CVASC or embassy instructions may specify pixel sizes for online upload—follow the portal for your jurisdiction. The My New ID Photo preset for this document is 33×48 mm, matching the dimensions in our built-in specification table.

Dimensions

33 × 48 mm full-face, front view, color photo taken within the last six months.

Face and hair

Facial features clearly visible; no thick-framed glasses obscuring the eyes if possible. Hair should not cover eyebrows or eyes.

Background and quality

White or very light solid background. High resolution; no retouching that changes identity.

Making this photo in My New ID Photo

Pick China and Visa for 33×48 mm as used by many CVASC locations. Some portals ask for exact pixel dimensions—after cropping here, resize only if the checklist lists width and height in pixels. Keep the image natural and unretouched.
