Georgian Passport Photo Requirements and Guide
Get your Georgian passport photo right by following the official rules for size, background, and head position. You can prepare your image using the tool above before you submit it.
Official Size and Dimensions
The official size for a Georgian passport photo is 35×45 mm, or about 1.38×1.77 inches[1][2]. The biometric photo guide sets head height at 28 to 35 mm, from chin to top of head[3].
When you frame the photo, check that it meets the stated size and head-height measurements[1][2][3].
Background and Lighting
The agency photo guide illustrates a plain, light background but does not name a required color[3].
Good lighting is essential for a clear photograph. Face a window or use soft, even lighting to illuminate your face from the front. Make sure there are no harsh shadows cast on the background behind you or across your facial features.
Taking the Photo at Home
You can take your own passport picture at home using a digital camera or smartphone. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you instead of trying to take a selfie. Hold the camera about two meters away from your face at eye level to prevent distortion.
The agency guide specifies a neutral expression[3]. Take several practice shots if you want to compare framing before cropping.
Facial Expression and Eyes
The agency photo guide specifies a neutral expression[3]. Keep your facial muscles relaxed so you do not frown or smile.

Before You Go
Before you visit the office, check that your printed photos are sharp, clear, and printed on high quality paper without marks. Do not cut the photos until you know the exact requirements of your local office.
Remember that the agency also offers photo-taking at its offices for a fee if you prefer to have them handle it[1]. Submission practice can vary by application route.
Printed and Electronic Submission
The regulation specifies two color biometric photos in printed and electronic form[2]. You should check whether your specific application requires physical printouts, digital uploads, or both.
Keep your digital image files saved in a safe folder on your computer or phone until your application process is fully complete.
