Official Djiboutian passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationThe passport service in Djibouti connects a photograph with evidence of nationality and personal identity. The government portal describes biometric passports introduced in 2017 and directs applicants to the Immigration and General Intelligence Directorate. This is the citizen’s travel-document application, separate from permission to enter a foreign destination.
The published checklist asks for two photographs in the specified format. Adults present a national identity card, while a minor’s file includes a birth record and parental authorization. The portrait therefore belongs with supporting identity documents, rather than being an isolated purchase made without the application documents.
Prepare matching prints showing a recognizable likeness. Natural facial expression, clear framing and good photo quality help the image remain useful for identification. Keep the original digital photograph and use the official photo requirements when preparing the finished copies. The biometrics guide explains how a facial image fits within a secured identity document.
Applicants abroad can use the embassy and consulate directory to locate the Djiboutian representation handling their case. The Berlin embassy’s application also marks a correctly sized photo space and instructs applicants not to staple the picture. For the journey itself, consult the visa finder: a destination visa may require a separate photo submission even after the passport file is complete.
