Georgian Child Passport Photo Guide
Get the right details for a Georgian child passport photo so you can prepare your picture before applying. Follow these official rules to avoid application delays.
Official Size and Head Dimensions
The official size for a Georgian passport photo is 35×45 mm, which equals 1.38×1.77 inches[1][2]. You must match these exact dimensions when you prepare your photo file. The agency requires the head height to measure between 28 and 35 mm from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head[3].
Checking these measurements carefully helps you meet the standards set by the Public Service Development Agency of Georgia. You can use the tool above to crop your image to the correct proportions. Always double-check your measurements before you submit your application documents.
Background and Lighting Setup
The agency photo guide illustrates a plain, light background; it does not name a required color[3]. Avoid patterned walls, textured surfaces, or dark sheets behind the child. Make sure there are no shadows cast on the background.
Good lighting makes your photo clear and bright. Face a large window to get soft, even light on the child's face. If you take the photo yourself, keep the camera at eye level about one to one and a half meters away from the child.
Expression, Glasses, and Headwear
The agency’s photo instructions specify a neutral expression[3]. The supplied official information does not state a mouth-closed rule or say that a particular expression will cause rejection.
Glasses are allowed under conditional rules, but frames must not obscure the eyes or create heavy reflections. Headwear is permitted for religious or medical reasons only[3]. The face must remain uncovered from the chin to the top of the forehead.
Special Rules for Infants and Children
Children under 10 may have variations in face size under the agency's biometric photo instructions[3]. Young babies do not always sit straight or hold a neutral expression, but you should still try to get as close to the standard rules as possible. Laying a baby on a plain, light sheet on the floor can help you take a top-down photo.
A parent or legal representative submits the child’s application. Photo-taking is available at a Public Service Hall or agency office[1].
Submission and Office Photo Options
The passport rules specify color biometric photos in printed and electronic form[2]. The agency also offers photo-taking at a Public Service Hall or agency office[1].
If you want to prepare your own prints, you can format your cropped image onto a standard template. You can use the tool above to prepare your image for printing. Take the final file to a local print shop and print it as an ordinary 4×6-inch photo.
Common Reasons Photos Are Refused
The required head height is 28 to 35 mm, measured from chin to top of head[3]. The supplied official information does not list other common refusal reasons.
Check that the child's eyes are fully open and looking forward without hair covering the face. Review all official guidelines carefully before you visit the office to submit your forms.
