Afghanistan passport photo size & rules

An Afghanistan passport photo is prepared for the General Directorate of Passport, the national passport department that issues travel documents to Afghan citizens. The accepted print is 35mm wide by 45mm tall, taken as a recent, front-facing colour photo. The applicant should look directly at the camera with the head centred in the frame, and the face should be prominent, with the chin-to-crown distance typically ranging from 32mm to 36mm, so features remain clear for identity verification at border and consular checks.

Because Afghan passports are frequently used for visa applications and international travel, submitted photos should follow widely recognised standards. The background must be plain white and evenly lit, without shadows falling behind the head or across the face. The expression should be neutral with the mouth closed and both eyes open and clearly visible. Hair must not cover the eyes, tinted or reflective glasses should be avoided, and head coverings worn for religious reasons are accepted provided the full face from chin to forehead stays uncovered and recognisable.
