Slovakia passport photo size & rules
Slovakia, a landlocked country in Central Europe defined by the rugged Tatra Mountains and the Danube lowlands, bordering Poland, Ukraine, Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic, requires a standardised photograph for every passport (cestovny pas) application. The photo must be 35 millimetres wide by 45 millimetres tall, equal to 413 by 531 pixels at 300 DPI, matching the ICAO biometric standard used across the European Union.
Slovak passports are issued by the Ministry of Interior (Ministerstvo vnutra) through district police departments (okresne riaditelstvo Policajneho zboru). In many cases the biometric photograph is captured directly at the application counter, but a compliant photo is still useful for reference and for other documents. The image must show a neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open and clearly visible, against a plain white or light grey background with even, shadow-free lighting. Glasses should be removed where possible, and head coverings are accepted only for religious reasons.
You can prepare a compliant Slovak passport photo entirely in your browser with this tool. All processing runs locally on your own device, so nothing is uploaded and your photo remains fully private, and the tool is free to use. Because official requirements can be revised, always verify the current rules with the Ministerstvo vnutra or your district police department before submitting your passport application.
