Official Russian diplomatic passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationRussia’s diplomatic passport process is coordinated by the Foreign Ministry’s Consular Department through the organisation sending the applicant on official travel. Under Order 9045, the submission contains an organisational request and individual records, with photographs used in more than one part of the dossier. Preparing only a single portrait without checking those uses can leave the application incomplete.
The order’s non-biometric passport procedure calls for identical 35 × 45 mm photographs reflecting the applicant’s current age. Pictures attached to the supporting records are certified with the organisation’s seal, and two additional photographs are provided for the passport itself. Confirm the exact set with the coordinating office, particularly where a biometric passport is being requested under the separate procedure.
The portrait must show the face straight ahead, with a neutral facial expression, closed mouth and a plain white background. Use the photo requirements below and our framing, likeness and photo quality explanations to review the result. The application rules specifically exclude appearance-enhancing facial edits; clear identification is the purpose of the image.
Keep the matching prints with the requested identity documents and official paperwork. Our Russia page provides related Russian document context, while the embassy and consulate directory and visa finder can support destination research. Check the assignment’s entry and accreditation arrangements through the responsible official channel, because the passport dossier and permission to undertake the visit are separate parts of preparation.
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.
