Official Luxembourger ID photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationFor a Luxembourg identity card, the place where you apply matters if you want to supply your own photograph. Guichet.lu says the picture is normally taken during the application, but a supplied photo can be scanned at its physical reception desk. The communal administration cannot scan that personal photo, so choosing the right application location avoids preparing a picture that the receiving desk cannot use.
The supplied image must be recent and meet the ICAO standards cited by the government. Prepare a portrait with a recognisable likeness, then review photo quality, framing, background and facial expression in the detailed requirements below. The prints should preserve facial detail without damage or marks before scanning.
The future cardholder must attend with the required identity documents or nationality evidence. This remains an identity-card application even when the photograph was prepared in advance; bringing the image does not replace personal attendance. Citizens living outside Luxembourg can also use a competent Luxembourg diplomatic or consular mission, with honorary consulates excluded from this service. Our embassy and consulate directory helps locate the relevant representation. Keep the photo arrangements for that location separate from the domestic reception-desk scanning option when organising an overseas 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.
