 To carry out the acquisition procedure correctly, the photo must be cut out, if necessary, so that the dimensions are equal to:

  • Width: 35mm
  • Minimum height: 45mm

The eventual cropping of the photo must be carried out in such a way as to ensure an acquisition of the image that fully retracts the subject's unrotated face (both lobes must be visible).

Size of the passport photo

The photo must not be cropped to exclude the background or to straighten the head, nor must it be retouched or colored or tampered with in any way. The height of the photo must be such as to ensure that the face is contained entirely in the image and centered with respect to the image frame so that the height of the eyes, with respect to the base of the frame itself, is between a maximum value of 31 mm and a minimum value of 23 mm.
