Turkish passport photo — 50×60 mm biometric
Turkey uses one of the largest passport photo formats in the world: a 50×60 mm biometric print with the face measuring 32–36 mm from chin to hairline, on a white, patternless, shadow-free background, taken within the last six months — and it must not be cropped down to a smaller size.

What is a Turkey Passport photo?
A Turkish passport photo is a 50×60 mm biometric print — one of the largest formats in the world — with the face measuring 32–36 mm from chin to hairline on a white, patternless background, taken within the last six months and never cropped to a smaller size.
The same NVİ biometric format serves the kimlik identity card and the driving licence, so one compliant print run covers multiple applications. Buried official guidance recommends a mid-tone grey background for very light hair, despite the headline white-background rule.
The same NVİ biometric format serves the kimlik identity card and driving licence. Check your photo against the Turkish geometry live in your browser, then print the exact 50×60 mm sheet — four copies on one print.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a Turkish passport photo?
50 mm wide by 60 mm high — the 'biyometrik fotoğraf' format. Standard 35×45 mm passport photos are not acceptable, and cropping a biometric photo smaller invalidates it.
What are the face and background rules?
Face 32–36 mm chin-to-hairline (roughly 70–80% of the photo), direct gaze with eyes open and sharp, white patternless background — with mid-tone grey recommended for very light hair so the head keeps contrast.
Does the same photo work for the kimlik card and driving licence?
Yes — the NVİ biometric standard covers all three. One compliant print run serves multiple applications, and photocopies or re-photographed prints are rejected.
Are glasses and headscarves allowed?
Prescription glasses only, without tint or glare and with frames off the eyes. A religious headscarf is acceptable when the face is visible chin to forehead and the scarf's colour differs from the background.
Compliance, honestly
- We validate your photo against the official rules — we never retouch your face, and we only normalize the background where the destination country permits it.
- Every requirement is cited from official government sources, with the verification date shown on the page.
- You get a measured report, not a guarantee — final acceptance always rests with the issuing authority.
