Create with this specVerbatim official spec
The verbatim official spec from IIBC (The Institute for International Business Communication) is shown below in the original Japanese.
- 「縦4cm×横3cmのものを1枚ご用意ください。」
- 「カラー・モノクロ、どちらもお使いいただけますが、公式認定証にはモノクロで印刷されます。」
- 「6ヶ月以内に撮影、白または薄い色、正面を向いたご本人の顔がはっきり確認でき(顔に影がないもの)、頭部全体が写っているもの」
- 「受験票の証明写真貼付欄の水色の外枠にあわせて、必ずのりを使用して貼ってください」
Why this spec matters
This page covers the photo for the TOEIC L&R (Listening & Reading) public test admission ticket. TOEIC S&W (Speaking & Writing), TOEIC Bridge S&W, and IP tests (group testing for companies and schools) do not require a photo, so this service is not needed for those formats. For the L&R public test, you do not upload a photo at registration — you print the photo yourself and physically paste it onto the admission ticket, which is mailed to you about two weeks before the test. On test day you bring the admission ticket (with photo already attached) and a valid ID. Write your name and seat number on the back of the photo, and paste it inside the light-blue outline on the admission ticket using glue. Double-sided tape and cellophane tape are not recommended by the official rules. Required: 40mm tall × 30mm wide, taken within 6 months, white or pale-color background, front-facing with no hat, the whole head in frame, and no shadow on the face.
