Cyprus passport photo size & rules

Cyprus is an island nation in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, south of Turkey and west of Syria and Lebanon, and is the third-largest island in the Mediterranean with mountain ranges and sun-drenched coastlines. Cypriot passports are issued by the Civil Registry and Migration Department under the Ministry of Interior, which defines the biometric photo requirements applicants must satisfy.

A Cyprus passport photo measures 35mm wide by 45mm tall, roughly 413 by 531 pixels at 300 DPI. As an EU member applying ICAO biometric standards, Cyprus requires your face to be centred and squarely facing the camera against a plain white or light grey background, with a neutral expression, closed mouth and both eyes open. Lighting must be even so no shadows fall on the face or the backdrop behind you.

This tool formats your Cyprus passport photo entirely in your browser, so the image is never uploaded to any server and stays private on your device, and it is free to use. Because requirements can change, always verify the current official rules from the Cyprus Civil Registry and Migration Department before submitting your passport application.
