Ethiopia passport photo size & rules
Ethiopia issues its electronic passport through the Immigration and Citizenship Service, and applicants supply a photograph in the standard 35x45mm size. When produced at 300 DPI this becomes a 413x531 pixel image, a resolution well suited to the e-passport enrolment and to the online application system used by the service. Ethiopian applicants abroad submit the same photo format, so getting the crop right the first time prevents delays at the mission.
The Immigration and Citizenship Service expects a recent colour photograph on a plain white background with even lighting that leaves the face and backdrop free of shadows. The applicant should face the camera directly with a neutral expression, mouth closed, and both eyes clearly open, and the head should fill roughly 70 to 80 percent of the frame so it can be measured and matched during enrolment. Reflections from glasses, uneven lighting, and off-white backgrounds are common causes of rejection, so a simple, front-facing shot works best. The same portrait format is convenient for Ethiopian identity documents and for visa applications when travelling abroad.
Pixohub produces your Ethiopia passport photo 100% in the browser, which means it is processed entirely on your device with no upload and your image remains private, and the tool is free to use. Because official e-passport requirements can be revised, please confirm the current rules with the Immigration and Citizenship Service before printing or completing your online application.
