Japan ID / Rijbewijs — 40 × 30 mm

Japan ID / Rijbewijs from Nederland: identity-document crop only

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

Even when your FotoPass market shows Nederland, a Japan ID / Rijbewijs must still meet Japan photo law for that document — local domestic sizes are a different product.

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

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

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

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

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

Why Nederland defaults fail Japan ID checks

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

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

Registry / online ID notes from Nederland

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

Compress only after the ID crop is locked.

Keep the selector on Japan ID / Rijbewijs

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