Canadian dual citizens & travellers: Belgium Passport sizes
Scope lock: this URL is for Belgium Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
In Canada, US belgium passport requests are common for dual citizens and frequent travellers. Canadian passport dimensions (often taller prints) are a frequent mix-up with Belgium square or ratio crops.
This article is scoped to Belgium Passport as a Belgium travel / passport photo (35 × 45 mm, Light grey). Driving-licence and national-ID wording is not pasted here.
Canada’s common 50 × 70 mm passport strip is taller than Belgium Passport at 35 × 45 mm. Dual citizens who recycle the Canadian print into a Belgium form get predictable rejections.
Official framing for Belgium Passport on FotoPass is 35 × 45 mm with a Light grey background. Treat any other country’s booth print as a different template.
From any province: selfie → Belgium Passport selected → upload on this page → use the export for Belgium online tools or a Belgium appointment while living in Canada.
50 × 70 mm Canada vs Belgium Passport
Do not trim a Canadian strip into another shape in Preview/Photos — head-size percentages break. Regenerate with Belgium Passport so 35 × 45 mm is authored correctly.
Background must read Light grey for this passport document even if your Canadian studio used a cooler grey.
Cross-border filing habits for Belgium Passport
Keep separate folders: “CA passport” vs “Belgium Passport”. Mixing filenames is how the wrong JPEG gets uploaded at midnight.
