Ghana photo requirements

Ghana photo requirements are set by Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ghana Passport Services (passport.mfa.gov.gh). We publish 1 document: 1 passport. Every document here is uploaded as a digital file; 1 document accepts a digital upload. Each page quotes the official rule for size, head height, background and file, links the source we read, and shows the date we last checked it (most recently 2026-10-09).
