Nigeria passport photo (online application)
Exact requirements for the Nigeria passport photo (online application), with the official source and the date we checked it.
The Nigerian Immigration Service portal has an image compliance check but does not say whether edited backgrounds are accepted. The head size comes from the ICAO guidelines the portal refers to, and the print size is derived from the pixel size because the portal states none. Capture-only mode against a plain white wall is the safe choice.
