Official Eritrean ID photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationAn application for a national identity card of Eritrea connects the applicant with Eritrean identity and family records. The Washington embassy’s new-ID instructions ask for birth evidence and copies of the parents’ national IDs, alongside an online application. Fingerprint verification requires a separate appointment through the embassy or a local community representative.
The published photograph request is four images measuring 35 by 45 millimetres against a white background. These prints accompany the identity evidence rather than replacing it. The portrait should show the applicant facing forward, with the face clearly visible and a natural facial expression.
Prepare consistent copies from a current image, checking photo quality and framing before printing. The recognizable likeness in the photo and the family information in the supporting identity documents perform different tasks: one enables visual identification, while the other supports the underlying application. Keep each person’s pictures attached to the correct file when several family members apply.
The embassy also describes separate underage-ID and temporary-ID services, so the adult new-ID checklist should not be applied indiscriminately. Use the embassy and consulate directory to find the mission responsible for your location and confirm the appropriate service. A national-ID application should be organized around that service’s evidence and verification process, including the fingerprint appointment, rather than treated as a photo order alone.
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.
