Japan ID / Licence — 40 × 30 mm

Japan ID / Licence from Ireland: identity-document crop only

Scope lock: Japan ID / Licence is an identity / residence-style document page, kept separate from passport and licence URLs.

In Ireland, treat this page as a Japan-only tool for Japan ID / Licence. Irish passport booth sizes are not a substitute when the form explicitly asks for Japan measurements.

This article is scoped to Japan ID / Licence as a Japan identity / residence-style photo (40 × 30 mm, White), kept separate from passport and licence pages.

Cross-border ID work: market Ireland, photo law Japan for Japan ID / Licence. Passport and licence copy stay on other URLs.

Official framing for Japan ID / Licence on FotoPass is 40 × 30 mm with a White background. Treat any other country’s booth print as a different template.

Home-market tip: Ireland passport photos are commonly about 35 × 45 mm. Japan ID / Licence instead demands 40 × 30 mm — different aspect ratio, not a simple resize.

From Ireland: selfie → Japan ID / Licence → upload → use the export for Japan registry / residence filings.

Why Ireland defaults fail Japan ID checks

A 35 × 45 mm Ireland print is not automatically a valid 40 × 30 mm ID crop for Japan ID / Licence.

Registries want a plain White field and a current likeness — not a reused travel JPEG.

Registry / online ID notes from Ireland

File the newest Japan ID / Licence export with the Japan identity office or portal.

Compress only after the ID crop is locked.

Keep the selector on Japan ID / Licence

Do not flip to a Ireland passport or licence mid-flow — millimetres will silently change.

Japan ID / residence photo

Japan ID / Licence uses 40 × 30 mm and a White background. If you arrived from a passport or licence search, confirm the selector still shows this ID document.
