How should a Georgia visa photo look?
The standard photo size for a Georgian biometric passport and ID card (ID kartozi) is 35×45 mm. A plain white background is mandatory and photos must comply with ICAO biometric standards. The Georgian passport grants visa-free access to the EU Schengen area. The photo must have been taken no more than 6 months before the application date.
Issuing authority: Public Service Development Agency (PSDA)
Passport and identity document applications are handled by Public Service Development Agency (PSDA). Applications are accepted at authorised offices and service centres, and the photo requirements follow ICAO 9303.
Preparing your photo with PhotoID Studio
PhotoID Studio automatically crops and resizes your uploaded photo to the 35×45 mm Georgian Public Service Development Agency specification. Face detection verifies head height and position, then the app produces a print-ready or digital JPEG.
Tips for a compliant photo
Take the photo in front of a plain white wall with even lighting. Face the camera directly and keep a neutral expression. Avoid flash. Remove your glasses and ensure your hair does not cover your face.
Common rejection reasons
• Non-white background or shadows on the background. • Glasses (not accepted unless medically required). • Hair, accessories, or hat partially covering the face. • Blurry, overexposed, or low-resolution image. • Photo taken more than 6 months before the application date.
Photo cost and the PhotoID Studio advantage
Biometric photo prices at studios in Georgia typically range from GEL 3 to GEL 8. A single PhotoID Studio annual subscription lets you prepare compliant photos for both the passport and the ID card.
