Wherever you are in the world, you need a passport to travel, obtain visas, and see the world outside the comfort of your country. Every country in the world offers passports, which are literally your ticket to border crossings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each country has different requirements when it comes to applying for passports, but more or less. The process is the same worldwide. You provide details of your identity, a recent photo that is verified by one or more persons, and send it off for your travel document \u2013 however, these requirements can change from country to country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what happens if it gets rejected?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indonesian Passports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re an Indonesian citizen who is hoping to travel, an essential part of your plans is obtaining an Indonesian passport \u2013 or you won\u2019t be able to leave the country. Like every other country on the planet, Indonesia has its own specific requirements that you need to meet in order to have your passport application approved \u2013 and the biggest requirement is the passport photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your passport photo is rejected, it could delay your travel plans, or you might even find yourself canceling them together \u2013 passport times can vary, and if you make an error, you could add weeks or months to your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your Indonesian passport photo<\/strong> has been rejected, there could be a variety of reasons why \u2013 this article can help you determine why your passport application was rejected and how to prevent the same in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why was your Passport Rejected?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the Indonesian government rejected your passport, the first thing you need to work out is why it happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like every government, the Indonesian government has specific guidelines for passport photos, and if your passport doesn\u2019t meet the requirements, your passport application will be rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the most common reasons for passport rejection from the Indonesian government include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        Incorrect size and color of the photo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        Low image quality<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        Incorrect placement of face and head<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        Use of accessories like hats, glasses, or jewelry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        Background color and texture do not follow guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your passport has been rejected, the first thing to check is whether or not your submitted photo meets the requirements<\/strong><\/a>. Next, check your photo against the above-mentioned requirements and take the appropriate measures to rectify it before resubmitting your passport photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correcting Your Passport Photo Errors:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most passport photo rejections \u2013 both in Indonesia and the rest of the world \u2013 happen because of something very simple and straightforward. For example, the background color or size doesn\u2019t meet the requirements \u2013 and it\u2019s often very simple to fix with the click of just a few buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the problem is deeper \u2013 like the quality of the image isn\u2019t great, or the positioning of your head or face is incorrect, you will need to retake the photo \u2013 but it shouldn\u2019t take more than a few minutes. If you\u2019re not confident about taking the photo yourself, asking a friend or family member to assist you can make all the difference to the end result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seek Professional Help:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are uncertain about the specifics of passport photo requirements, it can sometimes be a lot easier and less stressful to seek professional help. There are a variety of different photo studios and photographers available on the market who are experienced in taking passport photos that meet the passport requirements \u2013 whether you\u2019re in Indonesia or elsewhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You send them your rejected passport photos to ensure that your new photo is correct and submitted without any problems. However, going the professional route can be substantially more expensive than doing it yourself or even visiting a photo booth. So if you\u2019re on a budget and don\u2019t want to dip into your travel fund, going professional might not be your best choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patience is Key:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
