Many official documents in Côte d’Ivoire use a common photo size of 35×45 mm. This includes the Côte d’Ivoire passport photo^[1], Côte d’Ivoire child passport photo^[1], and the Côte d’Ivoire national ID card photo^[2].

Other papers like the Côte d’Ivoire resident card photo^[3], Côte d’Ivoire temporary stay title photo^[4], and Côte d’Ivoire driving licence photo^[5] also share this 35×45 mm size. You will also need this size for the Côte d’Ivoire international driving permit photo^[6], Côte d’Ivoire seafarer’s book photo^[7], Côte d’Ivoire maritime certificate photo^[8], and Côte d’Ivoire identity attestation photo^[9].

These are common sizes; the listed sources do not establish one official photo size for these documents^{[1][2][5][6][3][4][7][8][9]}.

Visas and Special Staff Cards

The Côte d’Ivoire visitor visa photo uses an official size of 50×70 mm^[10].

Print and Digital Submission Rules

The supplied facts list printed submission for passports, national ID cards, resident cards, and identity attestations^[1][2][3][9].

The supplied facts list both printed and digital submission for the driving licence and visitor visa photos, and digital submission for the interministerial staff card photo^[5][10][11].

Head Height Requirements

The listed sources do not specify a head-height measurement for passports, national ID cards, visas, or driving licences^{[1][2][5][10]}.

Even without a strict head height number, try to center your face clearly in the frame. Keep your shoulders level and look straight ahead into the camera.

Taking Your Photo at Home

You do not need a professional studio to take a valid identification picture. Find a plain, light-colored wall to use as your background so there are no distracting patterns behind you.

Face a bright window for soft natural light, which prevents harsh shadows on your face. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture from about one meter away rather than trying to take a selfie.

Keep the camera or phone at your exact eye level to avoid odd facial angles. Relax your expression, keep your mouth closed, and look directly into the camera lens.

Checking the Crop and Print Size

Once you take your picture, you need to check the dimensions before printing. Use the free tool above to crop your image to the correct width and height for your specific document.

If you are printing your photo at home, make sure your printer is set to 100 percent scale without any automatic stretching or fit-to-page settings. Measure the printed photo with a physical ruler to verify the final dimensions are exact.

Before You Visit the Office

If the authority takes your photo in person during your appointment, you should still prepare your appearance ahead of time. Dress in neat, everyday clothing and avoid wearing glasses or large accessories that obscure your face.

Arrive early and follow any specific instructions provided by the office staff regarding your application documents and photo submission requirements.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Watch out for shadows on your face or background when taking your photo. Make sure your expression is neutral and your mouth is closed.

Check your document instructions for any rules about head coverings and whether you need a printed or digital photo^{[1][2][5][6][3][4][10][7][8][9][11]}. Avoid wearing uniforms or clothing that blends into your background.
