Where to Print a Passport-Sized Photo in Singapore?

If you need printed photos for a traditional passport application or other photo ID, the 7ID app can provide you with a template of four identical images.

To print an ICA passport photo at home, you'll need a color printer and high-quality 4×6 inch (10×15 cm) photo paper. Find the template on your computer, set your printer to the specified paper size, and print.

There are also retail stores and post offices that offer printing services. Send them your file by mail or Bluetooth and ask them to print it on photo paper. The cost of one print out usually does not exceed SGD 1

Printing multiple photos at once to cover future needs is generally advisable, as these photo specifications are typically used for most foreign visas and other official documents.
