North Korea photo requirements

North Korea photo requirements are set by Democratic People's Republic of Korea (no authority page reachable; see sources/kp/_probe-log.txt). We publish 1 document: 1 passport. The most common print size is 35 x 45 mm (1.38 in x 1.77 in). 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 2026-10-10).

Passports

North Korean Passport Photo (no readable national rule; ICAO 35 x 45 mm reference)For a passport of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (조선민주주의인민공화국 려권) held by DPRK citizens, as a reference only: no DPRK government page could be reached on 2026-10-10 and the state publishes no passport-application procedure online that we could find, so the frame, head band and all other values are the ICAO Doc 9303 defaults. Not for a DPRK visa, for which no rule could be read either.35 x 45 mmnot readverified 2026-10-10
