<p>A biaxially oriented polyamide film showing an average dimensional change of not more than 3.0% and a difference between the smallest dimensional change and the largest dimensional change of not more than 2.0%, between before immersion in hot water at 95 DEG C and during the immersion, and an average dimensional change of not more than 4.0% and a difference between the smallest dimensional change and the largest dimensional change of not more than 2.0%, between the film without treatment and the film after withdrawal from said hot water; and a polyamide laminate film containing the film as a substrate layer. The films afforded by the present invention have superior properties and are industrially advantageous in a broad range of applications.</p>
