Latvia passport photo size & rules

Latvia is the central Baltic state in Northern Europe, lying between Estonia and Lithuania on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea, with a landscape of low plains, extensive forests and a long sandy shoreline. Latvian passports are issued by the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (Pilsonibas un migracijas lietu parvalde, or PMLP), which defines the biometric photo requirements for applicants.

A Latvian passport photo measures 35mm wide by 45mm tall, equal to about 413 by 531 pixels at 300 DPI. As an EU and Schengen member, Latvia applies ICAO biometric standards: the face must be centred and looking directly into the camera against a plain white or light grey background, with a neutral expression and both eyes open. Lighting should be even, with no harsh shadows on the face or the backdrop behind you.

This tool prepares your Latvia passport photo fully within your browser, so your image is never uploaded to a server and remains private on your device, and the service is completely free. Because official rules can be revised, always verify the current requirements from the Latvian Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs before submitting your application.
