Descriptive report

35 × 45 mm appears in 13 of 24 records

In this limited, source-reviewed collection, 13 of 24 specifications (54.2%) use 35 × 45 mm. That makes it the most frequent physical size in the dataset—not a universal standard and not a substitute for checking the country and document pair.

Methodology

  • Only records with a stored official issuing-authority source URL and review date are included.
  • Structured digital fields are populated only where the editor preset stores normalized values. Notes can include official and editor-specific guidance; verify unnormalized values against officialSourceUrl.
  • widthInchesApprox and heightInchesApprox are mathematical conversions from millimetres rounded to two decimals, not separately sourced issuing-authority values.
  • Counts are descriptive summaries of dataset version 1.0.0; no weighting or inference was applied.

Limitations

  • The collection has 24 records and is not a complete inventory of every country or submission channel.
  • Rules can change after the recorded review date; the linked authority remains the final reference.
  • Digital fields are present only when normalized values are stored; absence does not mean no digital rule exists.
  • selfServiceEligible is null when the official submission channel was not evaluated, false for a documented restriction, and true only for documented eligibility.
  • Requirements and submission channels can change. Verify the linked official source immediately before submitting a photo; inclusion does not guarantee acceptance.
