Огляд

Egypt requires a 4x6 cm (472x709 pixels at 300 DPI) passport photo with a plain white background, regulated by the Ministry of Interior through the Passport, Immigration, and Nationality Administration. The 4x6 cm format is larger than the standard ICAO recommendation, making Egypt one of the few countries with this specific dimension. Photos must show the full face in a frontal view with a neutral expression and both eyes clearly visible. For female applicants wearing hijab, the face must remain fully visible from the hairline to the chin and from ear to ear. Male applicants must be photographed without any head covering.

Plain white background with no shadows, patterns, or color variations

Вимоги

  • Photo dimensions must be 4x6 cm (472x709 pixels at 300 DPI)
  • Background must be plain white with uniform lighting
  • Full frontal face with neutral expression and mouth closed
  • Both eyes open and directed at the camera
  • No glasses or sunglasses permitted
  • Hijab is permitted for women but the full face from forehead to chin and ear to ear must be visible
  • Male applicants must not wear any head covering
  • Photo must be recent and printed on quality photographic paper

Поширені причини відмови

  • Photo not in the required 4x6 cm format; standard 35x45 mm photos will be rejected
  • Background not plain white or containing visible shadows
  • Wearing glasses or sunglasses
  • Hijab obscuring any part of the face, forehead, or chin
  • Photo quality insufficient, such as blurry, pixelated, or poorly lit
  • Expression not neutral or head tilted in any direction

Поради

  • The 4x6 cm format is uncommon, so confirm that your photo studio can produce this exact size before printing
  • Egyptian passport offices in major cities (Cairo, Alexandria, Giza) often have on-site photo facilities
  • Wear dark clothing for strong contrast against the white background
  • If wearing hijab, use a solid dark color that frames the face clearly without casting shadows
  • Bring extra printed copies as some offices require multiple photos for the application file
