Official Cypriot passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationA passport from Cyprus combines the printed likeness with an electronic identity record. The Interior Ministry explains that the facial image is stored on the document and its chip. Applicants can have the image captured during the application or supply a printed biometric photograph meeting the official specifications.
For citizens abroad, the Foreign Ministry identifies diplomatic missions equipped with biometric stations as application points. Its supporting-document list includes one recent photograph. The portrait belongs with the applicant’s identity documents, while enrolment records the necessary biometrics. Children still need a photograph even where their age exempts them from fingerprints.
Prepare a recognizable likeness that preserves natural facial detail. Use the photo quality, facial expression and framing guides to assess the image before arranging prints. Keep the original digital photograph available, and apply the official photo requirements rather than relying on an old passport image.
The embassy and consulate directory helps locate the Cypriot mission responsible for your area and establish its appointment arrangements. For a child, parental consent belongs in the same preparation as the photograph. Once the passport request is organized, use the visa finder for destination research: a destination visa is a separate application, with its own photo delivery instructions.
Photo dimensions must be precise to avoid rejection. The face-to-frame ratio is equally important for proper identification.
Use a plain, distraction-free background. We replace it automatically to meet official criteria.
Proper lighting ensures your photo is clear and natural. Uneven exposure or artificial glare can lead to rejection.
Your face must be fully visible with a neutral expression for easy identification and facial recognition.
Glasses are allowed only if they do not obstruct visibility. Headwear is permitted only for valid medical or religious reasons.
Improper posture can lead to application rejection. Your face and shoulders should be correctly aligned and fully visible.
