Огляд

The Czech Republic requires a 35x45 mm (413x531 pixels at 300 DPI) passport photo with a light grey background, processed by the Ministry of the Interior (Ministerstvo vnitra). Czech passport photo standards strictly follow EU biometric regulations and ICAO 9303 guidelines. Photos are verified through automated systems at municipal offices with extended authority (obce s rozšířenou působností). Glasses have been prohibited in Czech passport photos since 2017. The face must occupy 70-80% of the vertical frame height, and the expression must be completely neutral.

Plain light grey background with uniform tone and no shadows or patterns

Вимоги

  • Photo dimensions must be 35x45 mm (413x531 pixels at 300 DPI)
  • Background must be plain light grey with uniform illumination
  • Full frontal face with neutral expression and mouth closed
  • Both eyes open and clearly visible with no glasses permitted
  • Head must fill 70-80% of the vertical frame from chin to crown
  • No head coverings unless for documented religious reasons
  • Both ears should be visible whenever possible
  • Photo must be taken within the last 6 months and printed on quality photo paper

Поширені причини відмови

  • Wearing glasses of any kind in the photo
  • Background not the required light grey tone or containing shadows
  • Head size not within the 70-80% vertical frame requirement
  • Facial expression not neutral or mouth open
  • Photo paper quality too low or image showing compression artifacts
  • Hair or accessories obscuring the face, eyes, or eyebrows

Поради

  • Czech photo booths at metro stations and shopping centers typically produce compliant photos at lower cost than studios
  • The background must be distinctly grey, not white; pure white backgrounds will be rejected
  • Municipal offices use automated verification, so precise head sizing is critical
  • Wear dark clothing for clear contrast against the light grey background
  • If applying at a Czech embassy abroad, check whether the consulate captures photos on-site or requires you to bring them
