Verified official information
The French national identity card requires a compliant identity photograph taken less than six months ago: 35 × 45 mm, centred face and neutral expression.
We correct the framing and prepare the light grey (white not accepted) background while preserving your natural appearance.
The ordinary application uses a compliant printed photograph. Procedures that explicitly request an ePhoto use an approved photographer or booth and a code, not a generic home upload.
Use a sharp, unmarked photo with a plain light background, looking at the camera with mouth closed and head uncovered except for religious reasons.
You don't need to memorize measurements or biometric rules. Imagokit applies this document's official setup and checks the result before delivery.
Take the photo from at least 40 cm (16 in) away from your face. Ideally, have someone else take it for you.
Position your face in front of the lens and keep a neutral expression. Hold the camera at face level.
Face a light source, such as an open window. Don't worry about the background — we'll replace it.
Don't worry about the background or framing — our AI fixes that. Focus on this.
If you need to complete more than one application, prepare each photo to the exact size and rules of its document.
