Kosovo passport photo size & rules

Kosovo is a landlocked country in Southeastern Europe on the central Balkan Peninsula, bordered by Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania and Montenegro, with a landscape of high mountains and the fertile plains of Dukagjini and Kosovo. Kosovar biometric passports are issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs through its Civil Registration Agency, which sets the photo requirements applicants must meet.

A Kosovo passport photo measures 35mm wide by 45mm tall, roughly 413 by 531 pixels at 300 DPI. The country follows ICAO biometric standards: your face must be centred and facing the camera directly against a plain white or light grey background, with a neutral expression, closed mouth and both eyes open. Lighting must be even so that no shadows fall on the face or the backdrop.

This tool formats your Kosovo passport photo entirely in your browser, so the image is never uploaded to a server and stays private on your own device, and it is free to use. Because requirements can change, always verify the current official rules from the Kosovo Ministry of Internal Affairs before submitting your passport application.
