Türkiye works to 50 × 60 mm, and the same biometric photograph covers the kimlik kartı, the passport and the driving licence — one format, three documents. A passport application at the district nüfus müdürlüğü runs on a booked appointment and takes a single photo shot within the previous six months.

How much of the frame the head has to fill

Sixty per cent of a 60 mm height is 36 mm; seventy per cent is 42 mm. That is the band the face fills in a picture 1181 by 1417 pixels at 600 dpi, leaving 18 to 24 mm of frame around it. Shape counts as much as measurement: 5:6 is appreciably squarer than the 7:9 of a 35 × 45, so the edges reach further out to the sides.

What gets this one sent back

  • Plain white and unpatterned, and a 50 mm width exposes more of the room than 35 mm does. Choose the emptiest surface available.
  • Six months is the ceiling on age, so a photograph from an earlier application does not carry over even if nothing about you has changed.
  • Frames must not cross the eyes and tinted lenses are excluded; with a headscarf, the face stays visible from chin to forehead.

Half a metre clear of the wall so your shadow falls behind you, camera at about 1.5 metres so the lens does not widen your nose, soft light from the front. Take several.

Getting the print right

50×60 mm is a physical instruction; 1181×1417 pixels is what it becomes at 600 dpi. The head band follows the same conversion — 60–70% of 60 mm is 36.0–42.0 mm, or 850–992 pixels in the exported file.

No digital ceiling is published for this one, which means the print is the binding version and the file only has to survive being printed. Use the sheet rather than sending a single image to a shop — several copies at true size on one page costs the same and covers the spare everyone ends up needing.

Print at 100%, not "fit to page" — the default shrink is invisible to you and measurable to whoever checks it.

How it works

  1. 01Add a recent photoFacing the camera, plain wall behind. HEIC from an iPhone works directly.
  2. 02Frame it to 50×60 mmDrag and zoom until your head fills 60–70% of the frame height, matching the dashed guide.
  3. 03Check the warningsThe border area is measured against "plain white" and flagged if it is uneven.

Questions people actually ask

Can one photograph serve both my kimlik kartı and my passport?
The biometric specification from the Nüfus ve Vatandaşlık İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü applies the same 50 × 60 mm frame on plain white to the identity card, the passport and the driving licence, so one good photograph fits all three. Recency attaches to each application separately, though — six months is six months at whichever counter you stand. Print a sheet and keep the spares flat.
Do I need an appointment, and what do I bring?
For a general passport, yes. Applications go to the district population office after booking through the ALO 199 call centre or the randevu.nvi.gov.tr site, and the document list includes one biometric photograph taken in the last six months. The print therefore has to exist before you arrive, which is the argument for settling the crop the evening before rather than hunting a booth on the day.
What size does a Türkiye photo have to be?
50×60 mm, which is 1181×1417 pixels at 600 dpi. The head, measured from the bottom of the chin to the top of the hair, must fill 60–70% of the photo height.
What background colour is required?
Plain white. The border area is measured and flagged if it is uneven. The background is never replaced digitally — a cut-out edge is visible and gets photos rejected.
Is my Türkiye photo uploaded anywhere?
No — the crop and the JPEG encode both run in this browser tab. A biometric image of your face is not a file to hand to a web service.
How do I print 50×60 mm at the right size?
Use the print sheet — several copies laid out at true 50×60 mm with faint cut lines — and set the printer to 100% rather than "fit to page". At 600 dpi the file is 1181×1417 px, and a driver that shrinks by 3% turns 50 mm into something a ruler catches.
