With the PhotoID Studio desktop app you can create a custom photo size for any document used in any country, save it as a preset, and reuse your saved preset with a single click.

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 Azerbaijan visa photo look?

The required photo size for an Azerbaijan biometric e-passport and identity document is 35×45 mm. The background must be plain white, the face centred, and the eyes open. Azerbaijan's modern one-stop-shop ASAN Service Centres manage the passport application process quickly and efficiently.

Issuing authority: Daxili İşlər Nazirliyi

Passport and identity document applications are handled by Daxili İşlər Nazirliyi (Ministry of Internal Affairs). Applications are accepted at authorised offices and service centres, and the photo requirements follow ICAO 9303.

Preparing your photo: correct size and format

PhotoID Studio automatically crops and resizes your photo to Azerbaijan passport standards (35×45 mm, 300 DPI, white background). Face detection ensures the correct head ratio and eye alignment according to ICAO rules. Take the output file to an ASAN centre or authorised print point to attach to your application.

How to take a good photo

Stand in front of a well-lit plain white background and look directly at the camera. Your head should be upright, your face straight ahead, and your expression neutral. No sunglasses or accessories should be worn. Avoid flash glare and shadows.

Common reasons for photo rejection

• Background is not white or contains shadows. • Face appears in the wrong proportion within the frame. • Eyes are closed, squinting, or partially covered by glasses. • Head is tilted or turned. • Photo is low-resolution or blurred.
