Frequently asked questions
What are Japanese passport photo requirements?+
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (MOFA / Gaimushō) requires a 35×45 mm colour photo, taken in the last 6 months, on a plain white or light background, with a neutral expression, face centred and no shadow behind the head.
Does this work for the MyNumber Card (マイナンバーカード)?+
Yes. The same 35×45 mm format works for the MyNumber individual number card, Japanese driving licence (unten menkyoshō) and Residence Card (zairyū card).
Can I use this photo for a Japanese visa or COE?+
Yes. The output meets the specifications for Japanese visa applications, Certificate of Eligibility (COE), and re-entry permits filed at the Immigration Services Agency.
Can I wear glasses?+
Glasses are allowed only if there is no reflection on the lenses and the frames do not cover the eyes. Our AI removes reflections and offers a glasses-free version by default.
How much does a Japan passport photo cost?+
Instead of ¥800–1,500 at a Ki-re-i booth or camera store, IDReady.ai delivers a MOFA-compliant photo for €5.90.
