Before you take it

  • Stand a step in front of a plain white wall, with nothing behind you.
  • Face a window or soft light: even light on the face, no shadows on it or behind.
  • Phone at eye level, about 1.5 m away: ask someone, or hold it at arm's length.
  • Glasses only if you must wear them, with no tint or glare.
  • Eyes open, looking straight at the camera.

Check and make your photo

The first photo loads the face finder and the background outline from this site, about 15 MB, once.

The face finder and the background outline run in this page from files served by this site (sources and licences). They find where a face is in the photo; they never recognise who it is.

The Turkish civil registry (Nüfus ve Vatandaşlık İşleri) asks for a 50 x 60 mm biometric photo on a white background, taken in the last 6 months, and warns that a photo of another size or background can stop the application or get the card cancelled at quality control. It must not be cut to 35 x 45 mm.

Questions

What size is the Turkish passport photo?
Printed, 50 x 60 mm. These are the official rules as checked on 12 November 2026. This page makes a 591 x 709 pixel JPEG file (the printed size at 300 dpi).
What background does the Turkish passport photo need?
White, without pattern and without shadows.
Can I wear glasses in my Turkish passport photo?
Only if you have to wear them, with no tint and no glare over your eyes.
What expression does the Turkish passport photo need?
Looking directly at the camera, eyes open and clearly visible.
Can I wear a head covering in my Turkish passport photo?
No hat or headgear; with a headscarf the face must show from the tip of the chin to the forehead, with no shadows on it.
How recent must my Turkish passport photo be?
Taken in the last 6 months. These are the official rules as checked on 12 November 2026.
Can I take my Turkish passport photo at home?
The official rules, as checked on 12 November 2026, ask for no photographer or studio, so a photo taken at home can meet them if it meets every rule on this page.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is read and checked in your browser, and any file is saved on your device. The page tells our server only that a photo was checked, that it passed, or that a file was saved; never the photo, your face or any measurement. It finds where your face is in the photo; it never recognises who you are.
How is the head measured?
The page finds your chin and eyes in the photo and estimates the top of your head from your forehead, since hair hides it: the dashed line shows the estimate. If it is not at the top of your head, move it with Top of head and the checks follow.
Will my photo be accepted?
Only the issuing authority decides. A photo that passes every check here meets the published size, head and background rules as checked on 12 November 2026; you confirm the rest, such as glasses, expression and how recent the photo is.
How do I print it?
Save the print sheet: a 4 x 6 inch (10 x 15 cm) photo at 300 dpi with as many copies as fit and thin lines to cut along. Have it printed at 100% (actual size) on 4 x 6 inch photo paper at a photo lab or shop, then cut out the copies you need.
