Official Moldovan passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationMoldova’s Public Services Agency photographs the applicant and collects fingerprints when a passport application is submitted. Identity and legal status are checked at the same stage. This makes the portrait part of the appointment itself, with the supporting documents establishing whose travel document is being produced.
ASP recommends clothing that contrasts with the white photographic background and a hairstyle that leaves the outline of the face visible. Review our background, framing, facial expression and photo quality guidance alongside the detailed photo requirements below. A faithful likeness matters more than a portrait chosen for its fashionable or formal appearance.
The ordinary application and medically supported exceptions have different photographic arrangements. ASP provides a separate route for seriously ill or immobilised applicants, including a supplied photograph in specified circumstances. That exceptional checklist should not be treated as the normal requirement for everyone attending a passport appointment.
Our Moldova page connects related Moldovan documents. Organise the requested identity documents and any civil-status records before the appointment, especially if the information held in the population register needs updating. For an application overseas, the embassy and consulate directory helps locate a Moldovan mission. The visa finder supports destination planning once the passport application and expected collection arrangements are clear.
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.
