Djiboutian ID Photo

Four Photographs Within Djibouti’s National Identity File

The national identity card of Djibouti is issued through the General Directorate of Population and Family. The government checklist requires the applicant to attend personally, bringing evidence of identity and civil status. The photograph is one component of a file linking the person at the counter to the recorded family and nationality details.

The published request includes four identity photographs and a recent original birth certificate. Depending on circumstances, it also calls for parental identity documents, marriage evidence or proof of acquiring nationality. Prepare the portrait with these identity documents so the image and personal particulars refer consistently to the same applicant.

Arrange the four prints from a single current photograph. A recognizable likeness, natural facial expression and clear framing are useful preparation; the photo quality guide explains how to preserve facial detail. Retain the original digital photograph rather than making new copies from an already printed photograph.

The checklist also distinguishes supporting evidence for students and employed applicants. Assemble the material relevant to your circumstances before attending the directorate. Its photo requirements should establish the final photo format and any additional handling instructions. First issue, replacement and a duplicate after loss concern different administrative situations, so identify your request clearly when presenting the photograph set and supporting record.
