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

Switzerland passport note
Swiss passport photos commonly use 35 × 45 mm-class framing when that matches 35 × 45 mm; this page still binds Switzerland Passport.
