If the state crest is to be displayed with these portraits, it should be placed between the two portraits, with its top in line with the top of the portraits. No other pictures, photographs, emblems or notices should be placed above or immediately beside the portraits. Display of the state crest with the portraits is permitted only for government organs, ministries and Singapore embassies overseas. For enquiries on the use of the state crest, please visit the National Heritage Board website.

The measurement of the unframed portrait is 35.5cm by 49.3cm. A plain and simple frame should be used to frame the portraits.

Please refer to the measurements listed in the image above for the dimensions of the blue border that must be visible on the portrait when framed.
