Official Maltese laissez-passer photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationAn emergency travel document issued in Malta is assessed against the traveller’s nationality, available representation and intended journey. Identità publishes a specific adult procedure for people whose country has honorary representation in Malta. That route requires the honorary consul’s confirmation of identity and nationality and authorisation for the document to be issued.
The checklist asks for two passport photographs, with one endorsed by the same recommender. Prepare matching images with a current likeness, keeping the endorsed copy protected. The photo requirements below, together with our framing, background, facial expression and photo quality guidance, helps you review the portrait before the file is presented.
This Malta-based procedure should not be assumed to be the checklist for a Maltese citizen stranded abroad. Identità’s passport guidance directs citizens overseas to the relevant mission and describes assistance through an EU mission where appropriate. The nationality and location of the applicant determine which emergency service applies.
Our Malta page connects ordinary Maltese passport guidance, while the embassy and consulate directory helps locate the appropriate consular contact. Gather the available identity documents, loss evidence and itinerary before asking for the document. The visa finder supports initial route research, followed by confirmation that the actual emergency document is accepted for the destination and any transit.

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.
