North Macedonia passport photo size & rules
North Macedonia is a landlocked country in Southeastern Europe on the central Balkan Peninsula, bordered by Kosovo, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Albania, with a mountainous landscape and the large tectonic lakes of Ohrid and Prespa. Macedonian biometric passports are issued by the Ministry of Interior (Ministerstvo za vnatresni raboti), which defines the photo standards applicants must follow.
A North Macedonia passport photo measures 35mm wide by 45mm tall, roughly 413 by 531 pixels at 300 DPI. The country applies 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 North Macedonia 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 North Macedonia Ministry of Interior before submitting your passport application.
