Nigerian passport photo, exactly 600×800 pixels
The Nigeria Immigration Service passport portal requires a digital photo of exactly 600×800 pixels, JPEG under 2 MB, on a white background — face centered, hair off the face and ears, looking straight at the camera. NIS publishes no print size: the digital spec is the spec, enforced by the portal's own compliance checker.

What is a Nigeria Passport (NIS) photo?
A Nigerian passport photo is a digital photograph of exactly 600×800 pixels — not a minimum — as a JPEG under 2 MB, on a white background, face centered with hair off the face and ears. The Nigeria Immigration Service publishes no print dimensions; the portal spec is the requirement.
The NIS portal includes its own Test Photo Upload compliance checker, and enrolment centres capture a live biometric photo at the appointment. The exact-pixel requirement is the main trip-up: phone photos are vastly larger than 600×800 and fail without precise resizing.
This page runs the same measurements in your browser — dimensions, background, framing, file size — and delivers a file at precisely 600×800 px that walks through the portal's Test Photo Upload.

Frequently asked questions
What is the exact Nigerian passport photo size?
600 pixels wide by 800 pixels high — exactly, not a minimum — as a JPEG under 2 MB, on a plain white background. The NIS portal rejects other dimensions automatically.
Why does the NIS portal keep rejecting my photo?
The most common causes: wrong pixel dimensions (phone photos are far larger than 600×800), shadows or off-white tones in the background, hair covering the ears or face, and headphones or accessories in frame. Each is measured in the free check.
What about printed photos?
Enrolment centres capture your biometric photo in person, and some ask for passport-sized prints as backup. The included print sheet covers that; the portal upload is what this page is built around.
Any dress rules?
No headphones, masks or accessories that obscure the face; head coverings only for religious purposes with the full face visible. ICAO rules are relaxed for children under 5.
Compliance, honestly
- We validate your photo against the official rules — we never retouch your face, and we only normalize the background where the destination country permits it.
- Every requirement is cited from official government sources, with the verification date shown on the page.
- You get a measured report, not a guarantee — final acceptance always rests with the issuing authority.
