What Türkiye asks for

Every Türkiye record in our database uses 50 × 60 mm (1.97 × 2.36 in).

50 × 60 mm is unusual: of the countries in our database, only this one uses it. A photo cut for another country will not fit without re-cropping.

The stated background is white.

Photographs must be recent — within 6 months.

Each of the 2 records below links to the official page or document it came from, names the authority, and shows the date we last checked it. Requirements change, so treat the source as final and this page as a convenience.

Before you take the photo

  • Plain, light, unshadowed background and even light from the front; no flash reflections on skin or glasses.
  • Face the camera squarely with a neutral expression, mouth closed and both eyes open; no tilt.
  • Remove sunglasses, hats and headphones; keep a religious head covering off the face outline; avoid glasses if the authority discourages them.
  • Use a recent photo — most authorities set a maximum age — and do not apply filters or retouching.

These points summarise the ICAO 9303 portrait guidance that national rules build on. The record for each document lists the specific requirements and their source. ICAO standard portrait (used by most authorities)
