How the Migration Authority Collects Photos
The migration authority photographs applicants directly as part of biometric residence-permit enrollment[1]. Because of this official enrollment process, no submitted-photo crop size is explicitly specified by the agency for home uploads[1]. The state agency responsible for issuing these documents is the Державна міграційна служба України[1][2].

Taking a Practice Photo at Home
If you want to practice taking a picture at home before your appointment, find a spot facing a bright window for soft and even natural lighting. Avoid harsh overhead lights that cast dark shadows under your nose and chin. Standing about one meter away from the background helps prevent unwanted shadows on the wall behind you.
For a practice photo, ask someone to take the picture with the camera at eye level. Avoid using selfie mode on your phone because it can distort your facial features and change the proportions of your head. Keep your shoulders square to the camera and maintain a neutral facial expression with your mouth closed.
