Огляд

UAE passport photo requirements are administered by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) and follow the 35x45mm format with a white background. The UAE is a regional leader in biometric technology, using iris scanning and facial recognition at all border points, so passport photos must be extremely precise in meeting biometric standards. Both digital and printed formats are accepted, with digital submissions through the ICA smart services app requiring specific file parameters.

Plain white background with uniform illumination, no shadows or patterns
