Passport and national ID card applications in Mongolia are handled by the Улсын Бүртгэлийн Ерөнхий Газар (EGASSR: General Authority for State Registration).

Preparing a compliant photo with PhotoID Studio
PhotoID Studio crops and resizes your uploaded photo to the 35×45 mm Mongolia standard. The app automatically checks face position, head height and background colour. Save the processed photo to your device and have it printed at a local print shop.
Tips for taking the right photo
Position yourself in front of a plain white wall under natural or evenly distributed artificial light. Look directly at the camera with your face fully visible from the front. Glasses are not recommended. Make sure your hair does not cover your facial features.
Common reasons for photo rejection
• Background is not plain white or light grey. • Head height falls outside 70–80% of the total photo height. • Eyes are closed or partially visible. • Shadows, reflections or print defects on the face. • Photo is older than 6 months.
Cost and printing options
With a PhotoID Studio annual subscription you can process unlimited photos. Print the processed photo at a local print shop at 35×45 mm. This offers significant savings compared to traditional studio prices.
