Luxembourg passport photo size & rules

Luxembourg is a small landlocked country in Western Europe, bordered by Belgium, France and Germany, known for its rolling Ardennes hills in the north and the deep river valleys around its capital. Luxembourgish passports are issued through the Passport, Visa and Legalisation Office (Bureau des passeports, visas et legalisations) of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, which sets the biometric photo requirements for citizens.

A Luxembourg passport photo is 35mm wide and 45mm tall, roughly 413 by 531 pixels at 300 DPI. As an EU and Schengen founding member, Luxembourg applies ICAO biometric standards: the 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 clearly visible. Lighting should be even and free of shadows on the face and the backdrop.

This tool prepares your Luxembourg passport photo completely within your browser, so your image is never uploaded and stays private on your own device, and the service is entirely free. Because official specifications can change, always verify the current requirements from the Luxembourg Passport, Visa and Legalisation Office before submitting your application.
