Verified official information
The Dutch identity card requires a 35 × 45 mm colour photograph no more than six months old, natural, sharp and unaltered by software. For applicants aged 11 and over, the face is 26–30 mm high.
We correct the framing and prepare the light grey, light blue or white background while preserving your natural appearance.
The printed photograph is brought to the municipality with previous documents. It must be an original copy on high-quality smooth photo paper with at least 400 dpi resolution.
Use a uniform light grey, pale blue or white background, neutral expression and centred head. Do not replace the background or create a reproduction from another photograph.
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.
