How the photo check works

Every photo goes through the same steps a passport office would apply — only faster:

Face detection — 478 facial landmarks are located on your device to find your eyes, chin and head outline, and to make sure exactly one face is in the photo.
Geometry — head height and eye line are measured and the photo is cropped and scaled so they fall inside the official range for your document; a tilted head is straightened automatically.
Quality — resolution, sharpness, exposure, even lighting on both sides of the face and red eyes (corrected automatically when found).
Background removal — the background is cut out and replaced with the exact colour your document requires.
AI review — a vision AI model checks expression, open eyes, glasses and glare, head coverings, shadows, other people or objects, and signs of filters or a photo of a screen.

Tips for a photo that passes

Face a window or a soft light so both sides of your face are evenly lit. Keep your head straight, look into the lens with a neutral expression and your mouth closed. Take off glasses and hats, keep hair away from your eyes and wear a top that contrasts with the background. Hold the phone at eye level about an arm's length or 1–1.5 m away; a self-timer or a helper works best.

What size is a Türkiye umuma mahsus pasaport (turkish ordinary passport) photo?

The official Türkiye umuma mahsus pasaport (turkish ordinary passport) photo size is 50×60 mm (1.97 × 2.36 inches). For a digital file that is 591 × 709 pixels at 300 dpi, or 1181 × 1417 pixels at 600 dpi if you want extra sharpness for printing. From chin to the top of the head the face must measure 42–48 mm, which is 70–80% of the photo height. The eyes should sit 18–28.8 mm below the top edge.

The background must be white, evenly lit and without shadows or patterns. Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression and your mouth closed, keep both eyes open and visible, and remove glasses if they reflect light or hide your eyes.

Same size in other countries

Few countries use exactly this format, so a generic passport photo from another country will usually be rejected. Worldwide the most common passport photo size is 35×45 mm (127 countries), so do not reuse a 35×45 mm photo for a Türkiye umuma mahsus pasaport (turkish ordinary passport).

Türkiye also sets photo rules for visa (50×60 mm), t.c. kimlik kartı (turkish national id card) (50×60 mm), İkamet İzni (turkish residence permit, göç İdaresi / e-İkamet) (50×60 mm) and driver's licence (50×60 mm) — pick the document in the tool above to get the right crop.
