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 Ivory Coast visa photo look?

The standard photo size for an Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) CEDEAO biometric passport and national identity document is 35×45 mm. The background must be plain white. Photos must comply with ICAO standards and be taken within the last 6 months.

Issuing authorities: ONECI and Direction Générale de la Police Nationale

The National Office of Civil Status and Identification (Office National de l'État Civil et de l'Identification: ONECI) manages identity document applications. Passport applications are processed by the Directorate General of the National Police (Direction Générale de la Police Nationale).

Photo preparation workflow

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

Tips for taking a good photo

Stand in front of a plain white wall in natural daylight. Look directly at the camera with a neutral, closed-mouth expression. Remove glasses and any headwear.

Common reasons for photo rejection

• Background is not plain white or contains shadows. • Face is partially obscured by glasses, a hat or hair. • Photo is older than 6 months. • Non-neutral expression or open mouth.
