نظرة عامة

Belgium requires a 35x45 mm (413x531 pixels at 300 DPI) passport photo with a white or light grey background, regulated by the FPS Foreign Affairs (Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs). Belgian passport photo standards closely follow ICAO 9303 biometric guidelines, and photos are verified through automated facial recognition systems at municipal offices (gemeentehuis/maison communale). Since 2015, Belgium has strictly enforced the prohibition on glasses in passport photos. The head must occupy 70-80% of the vertical frame, and the expression must be completely neutral with the mouth closed.

Plain white or light grey background with even illumination and no shadows
