Always verify the size before an official application

The information here reflects the sizes commonly accepted for visa applications. Authorities can change photo requirements without prior notice, and different documents in the same country (passport, ID card, driving licence, residence permit) may require different sizes. Check the current guidance of the authority you are applying to before preparing your photo.

How should a Kosovo visa photo look?

The standard photo size for a Kosovo biometric passport and identity card (letërnjoftim) is 35×45 mm. The background must be plain white. The Kosovo passport is recognised by 100+ countries and complies with ICAO biometric standards.

Issuing authority: Agjencia e Regjistrimit Civil

Passport and identity document applications are handled by Agjencia e Regjistrimit Civil (Civil Registration Agency). Applications are accepted at authorised offices and service centres, and the photo requirements follow ICAO 9303.

Photo preparation workflow

PhotoID Studio automatically crops, resizes and replaces the background of your photo to meet Kosovo's 35×45 mm biometric requirements. You save the processed image to your device and bring it to the authorised application centre yourself.

Tips for taking a good photo

Take the photo against a plain white background with even lighting. Look directly at the camera with a neutral, closed-mouth expression. Remove glasses and keep your head straight without tilting.

Common reasons for photo rejection

• Background is not plain white or contains shadows. • Face is partially obscured by glasses, a hat or hair. • Non-neutral expression or open mouth. • Insufficient print quality.
