What to know about Taiwan ID card photo
The Taiwan national identity card (國民身分證) requires a 35 × 45 mm colour photo with a white background, taken within the last two years and with a head height of 32 to 36 mm. The Department of Household Registration of the Ministry of the Interior publishes the rule and does not accept retouched, composite or mirrored photos.
From everyday portrait to compliant result: Taiwan ID card photo
We correct the framing and prepare the white background while preserving your natural appearance.
How it is actually submitted
You can hand in a print at the household registration office (戶政事務所) or upload the photo beforehand through the Department of Household Registration image upload service. The application is made in person because your face is checked, but you supply the photo. We deliver the digital file plus a print version.
How to prepare
Use a white wall and even light, face the camera and keep your ears visible. The rule recommends dark clothing to contrast with the background. Remove any hat and avoid frames that cover the eyes.
Common rejection reasons
- Photo older than two years
- Ears or features covered by hair
- Hat, tinted glasses or frames over the eyes
- Retouched, composite or mirrored photo
- Head outside 32–36 mm
We check the requirements for you
