You also need photos for the Armenian national ID card photo (35×45 mm), Armenian residence permit photo (35×45 mm), and Armenian visitor visa photo (35×45 mm)[1][2][3][4].
Additional documents include the Armenian e-visa photo (35×45 mm), Armenian foreign worker permit photo (35×45 mm), Armenian citizenship application photo (35×45 mm), Armenian refugee travel document photo (35×45 mm), Armenian driving licence photo (35×45 mm), and Armenian diplomatic and consular ID card photo (35×45 mm)[1][5][6][7][8][9][10].
When you apply for any of these official documents, having the correct picture format saves you time at the office. Double-check whether your specific paper or digital application needs a physical copy or a computer file before you start cropping your image.
Size and Dimension Rules
The supplied facts list 35×45 mm for each document covered here. Some are official sizes and others are common sizes without one official standard.
The supplied facts list a head height of 32–36 mm for passport, child passport, national ID card, and citizenship photos. The other listed documents have no set head-height measurement[1][2][8].
The supplied facts list driving licence, e-visa, and diplomatic ID card photos as common 35×45 mm sizes, with no set head-height measurement[5][6][10].
Always check your specific document guidelines so you know if your head size needs to fit the 32 to 36 mm window. Using our online tool helps you align your face correctly inside the 35×45 mm boundaries before you submit or print.
Submission Types: Printed and Digital
Different applications require different submission formats[1][2][5][3][6][4][7][8][9][10]. Knowing whether you need paper or pixels prevents rejection delays.
The supplied facts list printed photos for the passport, child passport, residence permit, and refugee travel document, and digital submission for the national ID card and diplomatic and consular ID card. Check the application instructions for paper specifications.
Digital submissions are required for the national ID card, driving licence, e-visa, foreign worker permit, and citizenship application, while the visitor visa accepts both printed and digital formats[2][5][6][4][7][8].
If your application requires a digital upload, check the file type and size limits set by the online portal. For printed submissions, make sure you print at high resolution without ink streaks or smudges.
Taking Your Photo at Home
You can take your photo at home and use the tool above to crop it to the size listed for your document. The supplied facts list 35×45 mm for the documents covered here.
Keep the camera at your eye level and ask a friend or family member to take the picture from about one to one and a half meters away. Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression and keep your mouth closed.
Make sure your hair does not cover your eyes and remove your hat. If you wear glasses, check that the frames do not hide your eyes and that there is no glare on the lenses.
Wear everyday clothing that contrasts with your background so your shoulders and outline show clearly. Avoid wearing white shirts if your background is white, as your edges will blend into the wall.
Checking Your Photo Before Print
Check that your shoulders are square to the camera and your entire head is visible in the frame. The background should be plain and light-colored, matching official requirements without any patterns or objects behind you.
Verify that the lighting is bright enough to show your true skin tone without dark shadows under your chin or behind your ears.
Once you crop your image to 35×45 mm, you can arrange it on a standard 4×6-inch sheet to print cheaply at any local photo kiosk.
Look closely at the final cropped file on your screen. Check that your eyes land right in the middle area of the picture and that you left a small border around your head and shoulders.
