Canadian dual citizens & travellers: Netherlands Passport sizes
Scope lock: this URL is for Netherlands Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
In Canada, US netherlands passport requests are common for dual citizens and frequent travellers. Canadian passport dimensions (often taller prints) are a frequent mix-up with Netherlands square or ratio crops.
This article is scoped to Netherlands Passport as a Netherlands 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 Netherlands Passport at 35 × 45 mm. Dual citizens who recycle the Canadian print into a Netherlands form get predictable rejections.
Official framing for Netherlands 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 → Netherlands Passport selected → upload on this page → use the export for Netherlands online tools or a Netherlands appointment while living in Canada.
50 × 70 mm Canada vs Netherlands Passport
Do not trim a Canadian strip into another shape in Preview/Photos — head-size percentages break. Regenerate with Netherlands 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 Netherlands Passport
Keep separate folders: “CA passport” vs “Netherlands Passport”. Mixing filenames is how the wrong JPEG gets uploaded at midnight.

Netherlands passport note
Dutch passport photos align with common EU 35 × 45 mm habits when that matches 35 × 45 mm; this page still binds Netherlands Passport explicitly.
