Verified official information
A French passport requires a compliant 35 × 45 mm identity photograph taken less than six months ago. It must show a centred front-facing face with a neutral expression on a plain light background.
We correct the framing and prepare the light grey (white not accepted) background while preserving your natural appearance.
For an ordinary application, a compliant printed photo is provided at the mairie or receiving authority. Completing a pre-application online does not turn the photo into a home file upload.
Use a sharp, unmarked and unretouched image with a closed mouth and visible eyes. Check that the print remains exactly 35 × 45 mm.
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.
