How should a Morocco visa photo look?
The backdrop decides a Moroccan photo: an even white, with no shadow falling behind the head. ICAO 9303 covers the rest: 35×45 mm at 300 dpi, the head near 70% of the height, and 3-5 mm left clear above the hair.
One format, three documents
Passport, CNIE card and visa applications all take the same photo, reviewed against the ICAO 9303 criteria.
What PhotoID Studio does
The app replaces the background with uniform white, shadows included. It then crops to 35×45 mm, sets the head at 70% and saves a 300 dpi print file.
Set the light first
Stand a step away from the wall and face a window. Frontal light keeps both the face and the white backdrop free of shadows.
Common rejection reasons
• Background not evenly white. • Shadow behind the head or on the face. • Head height clearly off the 70% mark. • No 3-5 mm gap above the hair.
Cost and printing
A PhotoID Studio subscription covers your photo work. Any photo counter can print the finished 35×45 mm file.
Frequently asked questions
Does one photo cover the passport and the CNIE card?
Yes. Both use 35×45 mm on a white background, and visa applications accept the same format.
Why is the background checked so strictly?
ICAO 9303 counts uneven white or any shadow as a defect, and rejections often start there.
