Passport, visa and ID photo requirements

Machine-readable photo rules for 49 passport, visa and ID documents across 46 countries, each checked against the issuing authority's own published page.

Source repository: https://github.com/kylept/passport-photo-requirements

What makes this one different

Several passport-photo specification datasets exist. This one is built around provenance rather than breadth — it covers fewer documents than some, and records more about how each value was obtained:

—officialSource — the URL of the issuing authority page the record was read from
—lastVerified — the date that page was last read, per record
—verificationStatus — verified, or the reason a value is missing
—headHeightBasis — whether the head-height range is officially published or falls back to ICAO Doc 9303 guidance because the authority publishes none
—editingRule — the authority's own wording on retouching and AI edits

A missing value means the authority does not publish that rule, or it could not be verified from an official page. It is never a guess.
