How it is actually submitted

You can generally bring a compliant photo to Citizen Service, but some municipalities require it to be taken there. Check your municipality before preparing or printing a copy.

How to prepare

If your municipality accepts external photos, bring a sharp recent copy. For young children, a photographer may be better placed to achieve the biometric framing.

Common rejection reasons

  • Not checking whether the municipality requires on-site capture
  • Head outside the 30–36 mm range
  • Shadows or patterns in the background
  • Hidden eyes, spectacle glare or open mouth

We check the requirements for you

You don't need to memorize measurements or biometric rules. Imagokit applies this document's official setup and checks the result before delivery.
