Official Israeli passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationThe photograph for an Israeli passport depends on where the application is made. In Israel, the Population and Immigration Authority provides biometric-passport services through its offices, including digital self-service stands at selected locations. Overseas missions publish separate instructions for non-biometric travel documents, so the consular photo checklist should not be confused with domestic biometric capture.
The consulate in Los Angeles, for example, asks for two recent supplied photographs with a passport application. It distinguishes postal renewals available to certain adults from cases requiring personal attendance, such as first applications and requests after loss or damage. Check the mission handling your case before deciding how to assemble the photograph and supporting papers.
Prepare a recognisable likeness for the portrait. Our framing, facial expression, background and photo quality guides help you understand what the facial image needs to show. The detailed requirements below cover the appearance checks, while our explanation of biometrics is useful when preparing for the domestic enrolment route.
Keep the requested identity documents and previous travel document ready for the selected service in Israel or abroad. Use our embassy and consulate directory to locate the relevant representation and confirm whether supplied prints are needed. A photograph prepared for one route may still need a different delivery method for another, so retain the original and follow the application instructions rather than assuming a print package completes a biometric request.
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.
