Характеристики фото
Огляд
Italian passport photo standards are governed by the Questura (police headquarters) in each province and follow EU biometric photo regulations at 35x45mm with a light-colored background. Italy is somewhat flexible on background tone, accepting white, off-white, or very light grey, but is strict about frontal positioning and neutral expression. Italian consulates abroad are known for thorough manual review of photos, and many reject images that would pass automated checks in other EU countries.
Plain light-colored background: white, off-white, or very light grey accepted
Вимоги
- Photo must be 35x45mm with the face measuring 32-36mm from chin to crown

- Glasses are allowed if lenses are fully transparent with no glare and frames do not cover the eyes

Поширені причини відмови
- Dark or colored background instead of a light, neutral tone
- Head not perfectly frontal; even slight rotation is flagged during consulate review
- Shadows on the face or background from incorrect lighting angle
- Photo paper with visible texture, grain, or surface damage
- Eyes partially closed, squinting, or not looking directly into the camera
- Photo older than 6 months or showing a different appearance from the applicant
Поради
- When visiting an Italian consulate abroad, bring extra photos as they often require 2-4 prints
- Use a plain white wall and ensure flat, even lighting from both sides
- Avoid textured or canvas-finish photo paper; smooth glossy or semi-matte works best
- If wearing glasses, angle your head very slightly downward to avoid lens reflections
- Check with your local Questura or consulate for any additional regional requirements before your appointment
