How we built this
The dataset is derived from Snapfora's first-party photo-spec library, which already powers the public size directory and country/document pages.
CC BY 4.0 covers Snapfora's compiled normalization, notes, derived 300-DPI pixels and head-height ratios only; raw government and ICAO figures are public regulatory facts.
Before submitting, verify against the official source; acceptance is decided by the issuing authority.
Rows with dated rule notes are flagged. Photo rules change, so confirm the current authority requirement before submitting.
Embed
The iframe is noindex and points to the canonical data page. The visible attribution line is part of the host page DOM and carries the dofollow credit links.
