Georgian Service Passport Photo Requirements and Guidelines
Prepare your photo for a Georgian service passport by learning the exact size rules and printing steps. Follow official standards to get your application ready.
Official Size and Document Types
When you apply for a Georgian service passport, you must follow specific size guidelines set by the government. The official size for the photo is 35×45 mm, which is equal to 1.38×1.77 in[1]. Knowing these exact measurements helps you avoid simple mistakes on your application.
The submission method depends on the exact type of document you request. A non-biometric service passport requires one printed 35×45 mm photo[1]. For biometric issuance, the applicant's photo is taken by the Ministry or authorized agency[1]. You can use the tool above to rehearse, check a photo, or prepare a copy for other uses.
Background and Lighting Requirements
The rule calls for a color biometric photo but does not specify a background color[1].
Good lighting is just as important as the background choice. Stand facing a bright window to get even light across your face and avoid dark shadows. Keep the room well-lit so your facial features remain sharp and clear in the final picture.
Head Height and Facial Features
The authority does not set a head-height requirement[1].
The official text does not specify rules for glasses, headwear, or facial expression[1].
Rules for Children and Minors
Service passports may be issued to eligible minors, but the source does not state separate photo dimensions[1].
Taking a picture of a baby or toddler takes extra patience. Have someone else hold the child or sit them in a safe spot against a plain background. Make sure the child faces the camera directly before you take the shot.
Taking Your Photo at Home
You can capture your passport picture at home before you print it out. Set your camera or phone on a stable surface or tripod at your exact eye level. Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the camera lens to prevent lens distortion.
Take multiple test shots so you can pick the best option. Check the lighting, your posture, and the framing to make sure everything looks correct. You can use the tool above to crop your photo to the exact official dimensions quickly and easily.
Printing and Preparing Your Photo
A non-biometric service passport requires one printed 35×45 mm photo[1]. For biometric issuance, the photo is taken by the Ministry or an authorized agency[1].
Cut the printed picture carefully along the edges using scissors or a paper cutter. Keep the paper clean and free from smudges, bends, or folds. Always double-check your printed output against the required dimensions before you submit it.
Avoiding Common Refusal Reasons
The source specifies the photo requirements by document type but does not list common rejection reasons[1].
Check which photo process applies: one printed 35×45 mm photo for a non-biometric service passport, or photo capture by the Ministry or an authorized agency for biometric issuance[1].
