What photo size does Irish Passport Online require?

A digital photo between 715x951 and 4800x6400 pixels in portrait orientation. This tool outputs exactly 715x951 - accepted by the online renewal system.

Can I take the photo myself at home?

Yes - Irish Passport Online explicitly supports photos taken at home against a plain light background. Have someone photograph your head and shoulders, then crop it here.

Does this work for first-time applications?

Online renewals accept home photos directly. First-time applications may need verified photos - check the checklist, but the digital spec is the same.

Completely - the AI background and cropping run in your browser. Your photo is never uploaded to any server.
