Photo guide preview
Use this Egypt Passport Photo Requirements guide to check the photo size, background, face position, and export format before you upload or print your document photo.
Before submitting, compare the final crop against your appointment checklist. A clean source photo, even lighting, and the right print resolution usually matter more than aggressive editing or artificial sharpening.

Egyptian passports require 40 x 60mm photos - larger than most countries. Submitting the standard 35 x 45mm photo from another country's template is a very common mistake. Our Egypt preset handles this automatically.
Only a clean white background is accepted by the Egyptian Passport Authority (Maslahet El-Gawazat). Blue, gray, or cream backgrounds from photo studios are frequently rejected.
Shadows on one side of the face or under the chin are common rejection reasons. Use lighting from the front - never from above or from one side. A window at face height provides the most even natural light.
Your gaze must be directed straight at the camera lens. Looking up, down, or to the side - even slightly - can trigger a rejection. Fix your eyes on the camera and keep your head straight.
Strong flash washes out facial features, while dim lighting creates a dark, unusable image. Aim for balanced, well-lit conditions where your skin tone looks natural and features are clearly defined.
Your photo must accurately represent your current appearance. Weight changes, new facial hair, different hairstyle - any of these mean you should take a fresh photo. Do it right now in under a minute.
Stand against a white wall in a brightly lit room. Keep your shoulders straight, look directly at the camera, and maintain a neutral expression with your mouth closed. Remove glasses if possible.
Upload your photo and the AI will automatically remove the background, detect your face, center it properly, and crop to the exact 40 x 60mm dimensions required by Egyptian authorities.
Download the ready file and print 4-6 identical copies on glossy photo paper. Take them to Maslahet El-Gawazat (passport office) or your local Mogamma' along with your application and national ID.
Get compliant photos in 60 seconds. One standard daily download available; upgrade for HD and print-ready files.
Create PhotoHelpful checklist
For Egypt Passport Photo Requirements, the safest result starts with a simple front-facing portrait: camera at eye level, shoulders straight, no heavy shadows, and a plain background that can be cleaned without cutting into the hair or face outline.
Do not reuse a cropped social-media profile picture unless it still has enough resolution. A low-quality source can pass the preview on screen but look soft after printing, especially when a 300 DPI sheet is required.
Use the country preset first, then compare the size, background, and face position against the exact passport, visa, ID, or embassy checklist for your appointment. Some offices update upload limits without changing the public photo size.
