  • 50 mm × 60 mm on a patternless white background; the ministry adds that 2 × 2 in is also acceptable in the USA.
  • Neutral expression with closed lips, head straight (not tilted or turned), hair not covering the face, eyes on the camera and open.

  • The ministry states no head-height measurement, so we do not show one — frame to the guide and check the consulate you apply through.

DocPixEdit provides technical guidance and automated checks based on the requirements and sources listed on this page. Requirements can change, and final acceptance is determined by the relevant authority. Always verify current requirements before submission.

How to prepare this photo

  1. Take or choose a recent, sharp, colour photo facing the camera with a neutral expression and even lighting.
  2. Open it in DocPixEdit with this standard selected — the crop frame is locked to 50 × 60 mm (1.97 × 2.36 in) — 591 × 709 px.
  3. Check the background is plain and matches what the authority allows (white); use the background tool if needed.
  4. Adjust zoom so the head is centred, level and fills most of the frame without touching the edges.
  5. Download the file (JPG for online forms, or a print sheet for paper) and double-check the rules on the official page before you submit.

General photo tips

  • Face the camera directly; keep both ears and the full outline of the face visible.
  • Use even, shadow-free lighting — daylight from a window in front of you works well.
  • Start from a high-resolution original; small or heavily compressed images look blurry when resized.
  • No filters, retouching or beauty effects — authorities reject altered photos.
  • Follow the authority's own rules for glasses, head coverings and expression.

These are general tips, not rules of any government. Always follow the official guidance linked above.
