Documents Covered by Official Rules
This page covers photo information for Moroccan passports[1], national identity cards[2], eVisas[3], visitor visas[4], and international driving permits[5].
Most of these documents share a standard photo size, but their submission methods and official definitions vary. Reviewing these specific details carefully helps you avoid rejection when you submit your application to the relevant authorities.
Moroccan Passport Photo Specifications
When you prepare your picture for a Moroccan passport, remember that the dimensions are strictly 35x45 mm[1]. The authorities require a physical, printed copy for your paperwork[1]. Take care not to use digital-only formats when submitting for a passport renewal or first-time application.
The official source does not set a specific head height requirement for passport pictures[1]. While you must center your face, you do not need to calculate strict vertical head proportions since the authority leaves this metric unset[1].
National Identity Cards and Visitor Visas
For your Moroccan national identity card, the photo must also measure 35x45 mm[2]. The administrative office mandates a printed submission for this card[2]. Clear printing helps administrative workers easily verify your identity without requesting a retake.
A Moroccan visitor visa photo is listed as 35×45 mm and printed[4]. The supplied facts do not set a head-height measurement for either the identity card or visitor visa[2][4].
Digital Requirements for Moroccan eVisas
Applying for a Moroccan eVisa requires a photo size of 35x45 mm[3]. Unlike physical paper applications, an eVisa requires a digital submission uploaded through the online portal[3]. Your digital file must meet general clarity standards even though specific pixel dimensions might vary.
The official terms do not set a single required head height for this digital format[3]. Always check that your face is well-lit and unobstructed when capturing your digital image for the online platform.
International Driving Permit Photos
A Moroccan international driving permit photo uses a 35x45 mm size[5]. This represents a common size rather than a single official size set by authorities[5].
You must submit this photo as a print[5]. Because driving permit offices often process physical paperwork, having a crisp printed copy ready prevents unnecessary delays in getting your permit.
Practical Tips for Taking Your Photo
Take your photo facing a window to get bright, even lighting on your face. Avoid harsh shadows by standing slightly back or diffusing the light with a sheer curtain.
Keep the camera at eye level about one to one and a half meters away from you to prevent distortion. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture so you maintain a natural posture and expression.
You can arrange your cropped photo onto a standard 4x6-inch sheet using the tool above to print at a local kiosk easily and affordably.
