What is passport-style photo? GOV.cn Friday, August 26, 2005 The Chinese consulate requires a photo similar to the one in your passport. They will only accept photos which are head-only, full frontal, with a white background, approximately 1-1/2" by 2". You can obtain this type of photo anywhere that advertises "passport photo" service. Cutouts from personal photographs are not acceptable.   Editor: Chen Feng Source: Beijing.gov.cn
