Official Sizes and Dimensions
The listed sources do not specify a 35×45 mm photo size for all these documents. The London embassy asks visa applicants for one passport-size photo[1]. Check with the relevant office for the required dimensions for your application.
The cited sources do not establish a single photo size accepted across these applications. Confirm the photo dimensions with the office handling your application.
The cited sources do not specify head-height measurements for these document types.
Submission Rules for Printed and Digital Formats
The Cairo embassy passport page describes an in-person process that includes a photography step, but it does not say applicants must bring printed passport photos[2]. The cited sources do not establish photo-submission rules for the national identity card or driving licence.
The London embassy asks foreign-passport visa applicants to provide one passport-size photo. For postal applications, it also says to print the application form and send it with the passport and supporting documents[1]. The source does not say digital photo files are accepted.
Practical Camera Setup
For a home photo, place your camera or phone on a stable surface at eye level.
Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the lens to avoid facial distortion. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you instead of attempting a selfie, which often distorts facial proportions.
Keep your shoulders square to the camera and maintain a neutral expression while looking directly into the lens.
Lighting and Background Tips
Good lighting makes your features clear and prevents shadows on your face. Face a large window with natural daylight during the day.
Avoid harsh overhead lights that create dark shadows under your nose and chin. Keep your background plain and free of distracting objects or patterns.
A neutral wall works best for official applications.
Printing Your Photo at a Local Kiosk
Many applications require physical paper copies rather than digital uploads. You can easily format your cropped 35×45 mm picture into a standard print sheet.
Use the tool above to arrange multiple copies onto a single 4×6-inch image layout. Save the file to your phone or USB drive and take it to any local photo printing kiosk.
Cut out your pictures carefully with scissors before you submit your paperwork.
