Estonia passport photo size & rules

Estonia is the northernmost Baltic state in Northern Europe, facing Finland across the Gulf of Finland and bordered by Latvia and Russia, with a landscape of low plains, thick forests and more than a thousand islands. Estonian passports are issued by the Police and Border Guard Board (Politsei- ja Piirivalveamet), the authority responsible for identity documents and the biometric photo standards applicants must meet.

The Estonian passport photo measures 35mm wide by 45mm tall, which is about 413 by 531 pixels at 300 DPI. As an EU and Schengen member state with a strong digital-identity culture, Estonia enforces ICAO biometric standards: your face must be centred and squarely facing the camera on a plain white or light grey background, with a neutral expression, closed mouth and both eyes open. Lighting must be even, avoiding shadows on the face and behind the head.

This tool formats your Estonia passport photo entirely inside your browser, so the picture is never uploaded to any server and stays private on your device, and it is free to use. Since requirements can change, always verify the current official rules from the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board before submitting your application.
