Serbian Passport, Visa, and ID Photos
Get the exact photo sizes you need for Serbian official documents. Use the tool above to prepare your prints or digital uploads.
Passport and Travel Document Photos
When you apply for a Serbian passport, you must provide a printed photo that measures 50×50 mm[1]. The official source does not set a specific head height rule for this document[1]. You must submit a physical, printed copy rather than a digital file[1].
The supplied official source does not establish these facial-expression rules. The Serbian refugee travel document photo is listed as 50×50 mm and printed, but this source list does not include a citation for that requirement.
National ID and Driving Licences
Getting a Serbian national ID card requires a printed photo sized at 50×50 mm[2]. The Ministry of Interior does not set a rule for head height in ID photos[2]. You must submit this photo in a printed format[2].
Your Serbian driving licence application uses a printed 50×50 mm photo[3]. The source does not set a head-height measurement[3].
A Serbian foreigner identity card photo is listed as 50×50 mm and printed[4].
Visas and Temporary Residence
Serbian visitor and long-stay visa photos are listed as 35×45 mm. They may be submitted as printed copies or digital files, depending on the application method[5].
Keep your shoulders straight and look directly into the camera lens. A Serbian temporary residence permit also requires a 35×45 mm photo[6]. Head height is not set for this permit either[6]. You can submit your residence photo as a printed copy or a digital upload[6].
Permanent Residence and Travel Authorizations
Applying for Serbian permanent residence usually involves a common photo size of 50×50 mm, though there is no single official size set by the government[7]. This photo must be submitted as a printed copy[7]. Double-check the exact requirements with your local office if you are unsure.
The Serbian Digital Travel Authorization uses a common size of 35×45 mm, but again, there is no single official size set for it. You submit this photo digitally when completing your online paperwork.
Practical Tips for Your Photo
Good lighting makes a big difference for your application photo. Face a bright window to get natural, even light on your face. Avoid harsh shadows behind you or on your face.
Wear normal everyday clothes that contrast well with a plain background. Keep the camera at your eye level, about one to one and a half meters away. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture instead of trying a selfie, because selfies distort facial features and rarely meet official standards.
Cropping and Printing Your Photos
You can use the tool above to crop your picture to the correct dimensions for your specific Serbian document. The tool runs right in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device and stays completely private.
Once you crop the photo, the tool arranges it neatly on a standard sheet. You can print this sheet as an ordinary 4x6-inch photo at any local photo kiosk and cut out your pictures at home with clean scissors.
