What to know about this size

35 × 45 mm fits the ICAO recommendation for travel documents (Doc 9303), which is why most visas (including the Schengen visa) and the passports of many countries, such as Morocco, Romania, Venezuela, Peru, Ukraine or the United Kingdom, use it.

It isn’t the size of the Spanish DNI or passport, which need 26 × 32 mm. If you’re renewing your country’s passport at a consulate in Spain, check your document’s size and background in the table.

The background isn't the same for all: many ask for white and others for light grey. The table below shows each document's, with its official source.

Why check it instead of just cropping it

Same size, different rules.

Cropping to size isn't enough: each document also sets the head size inside the photo, the exact background colour and sharpness. That's why two photos of the same size can work for one application and not for another.

The checked photo reviews framing, head size, background, lighting and sharpness against the rules of the document you choose and, when needed, applies the background it asks for. You see the watermarked result before you pay; then you download it without the watermark, with the print sheet, from €7.99.

If the office rejects it for not meeting the requirements, we refund you: refund policy.
