Огляд

Spanish passport photos must be 35x45mm with a plain white background, regulated by the Direccion General de la Policia through the DNI and passport issuance system. Spain requires that the face occupy a large portion of the frame and enforces a strict neutral expression rule verified both by automated systems and manual police review. Since Spain uses the same photo for both the DNI (national ID) and passport, getting the photo right once serves for both documents.

Plain white background with no shadows, gradients, or marks of any kind

Вимоги

  • Photo must be 35x45mm with the face from chin to crown measuring between 32 and 36mm
  • Background must be plain white and evenly lit across the entire area
  • Expression must be neutral with mouth closed, eyes open, and a direct gaze at the camera
  • No glasses are recommended; if worn, they must have thin frames and fully clear, non-reflective lenses
  • Face must be completely uncovered from forehead to chin with no hair, shadows, or accessories obstructing
  • Photo must be recent, taken within the last 6 months, and accurately represent current appearance
  • No uniforms; regular civilian clothing is required

Поширені причини відмови

  • Background not uniformly white or containing visible shadows
  • Glasses frames covering any part of the eye area or glare on lenses
  • Any detectable expression; slight smiles are enough to trigger rejection
  • Hair falling over the forehead or covering eyebrows
  • Photo showing wear, creasing, or printing artifacts
  • Wrong dimensions or face-to-frame ratio outside acceptable range

Поради

  • The same photo works for both your DNI and passport, so invest in a high-quality session
  • Visit a studio near a Comisaria de Policia, as they specialize in the exact Spanish requirements
  • Remove glasses entirely if possible; it eliminates the most common rejection reason
  • Keep hair pulled back from the forehead and eyebrows for a clean, unobstructed face
  • Bring four identical prints to your appointment as the police may require extras for their records
