Indonesia passport photo
There is no Indonesian passport photo to prepare: the Kantor Imigrasi takes it after the document check and interview. The M-Paspor app only handles registration, payment and document scans. Prepare for the capture instead.

The photo is taken at the Kantor Imigrasi after the document check and interview. The M-Paspor app only handles registration, payment and document scans, and Imigrasi publishes no print size because none is needed.
Place the crown and chin at the guide lines and the eyes in the band when one is shown. The oval is an approximate placement guide, not a face measurement or approval check.
This authority publishes no head height: keep the face centred with space above the head and the shoulders visible.
Nothing to crop for an Indonesian passport
Imigrasi publishes no print size because none is needed; the 4 × 6 cm photos found online are for other Indonesian documents such as the SKCK or diplomas. The photo is captured on site on a white background.
What to wear for the capture
Avoid white or very light clothing because the background is white, and wear a neat collared shirt rather than a casual T-shirt. Long hair goes behind the ears and shoulders; the forehead and eyes must not be covered.
Glasses, lenses and head coverings
No glasses, hats, masks or face-covering accessories are allowed during the capture; coloured and even natural-coloured soft lenses are refused because they change the eye profile. A hijab is allowed as long as it does not cover the forehead, eyebrows and chin.
Using the M-Paspor app
The app registers your application, takes the payment and uploads document scans, but it does not take or accept the passport photo. Bring your documents to the appointment and the officer photographs you after the interview.
