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 Jordan visa photo look?

The standard photo size for a Jordan biometric e-passport and national identity card (wataniyya) is 35×45 mm. The background must be plain white. Jordan has issued ICAO-compliant biometric e-passports since 2015.

Issuing authorities: Ministry of Interior and Civil Status Department

Jordanian passports (jawaz safar) and national identity cards are issued by the Civil Status and Passports Department (Dairat al-Ahwal al-Madaniyya wal-Jawazat) under the Ministry of Interior. Both documents require biometric data collection.

Photo preparation workflow

PhotoID Studio automatically crops, resizes and replaces the background of your photo to meet Jordan'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 expression. Women who normally wear a headscarf may wear one in the photo, but the full face must be clearly visible.

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.

Pricing

With a PhotoID Studio annual subscription, you can generate biometric photos for Jordan and 100+ other countries. There are no per-photo charges.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the same photo for both the Jordan passport and identity card?

Yes. Both documents require an ICAO-compliant biometric photo of 35×45 mm with a white background.

Can women wear a headscarf in the photo?

Yes. Jordan allows women who normally wear a headscarf to use a covered photo, provided the full face is clearly visible.

How recent does the photo need to be?

A photo taken within the last 6 months is accepted.
