At a glance
Citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia hold the FSM passport, issued only by the Division of Immigration and Labor of the FSM Department of Justice in Palikir, Pohnpei. The current application asks for two identical colour photos sized 1 3/16 x 1 3/4 (no unit printed; about 30 x 44 mm if read as inches), posted with the notarised paper form. No digital upload is described.
Overview
The Federated States of Micronesia has one document page here, the passport. The FSM Embassy in Washington says the passport office in Pohnpei is the only government agency that issues it, and the FSM embassies and consulates supply the form and guidance rather than the document.
Photos are submitted on paper. An applicant posts two identical prints with a notarised application, FSM Form 5001B-Revised, and the form gives the photo size as 1 3/16 x 1 3/4 without a unit. An older instruction sheet from 2007 adds that photos should be in colour, and that sunglasses, hats, leis and earrings must be left off. No background colour or head size is published.
