When applying for a Latvian passport, it is crucial to adhere to specific photo requirements set by the Latvian government to ensure your application is processed smoothly. At Passport Photo Online, we understand the importance of meeting these requirements and are here to provide high-quality passport photo printing and delivery services. In this article, we’ll guide you through the essential Latvia passport photo requirements and explain how our services, including our mobile app, can help you get the perfect photo.
Latvia Passport Photo Specifications
1. Photo Size and Dimensions
For Latvian passport applications, the photo must meet the following size requirements:
- Centimeters (cm): The photo should be 3.5 cm wide and 4.5 cm high.
- Millimeters (mm): This translates to 35 mm wide and 45 mm high.
- Inches (in): The photo dimensions should be approximately 1.38 inches wide and 1.77 inches high.
These dimensions are standard and must be strictly followed to avoid delays or rejections.
2. Background Color
Latvian passport photos require a plain, light grey or white background. This ensures that the applicant’s face stands out clearly against the background. The background should be uniform and free of shadows or patterns.
3. Face and Head Position
- Face Visibility: The applicant’s face must be clearly visible, with no hair or other items obscuring the face. The photo should show a neutral expression, with the mouth closed and eyes open.
- Head Size and Position: The head should be centered and occupy about 70-80% of the photo’s height. The distance from the chin to the top of the head should be approximately 32-36 mm.
4. Expression and Attire
Applicants should maintain a neutral expression with their eyes open and mouth closed. Facial expressions should be relaxed and natural. Glasses are allowed if they do not cause reflections or cover the eyes; however, tinted glasses are not permitted. Head coverings for religious or medical reasons are acceptable, provided they do not obscure the face.
5. Photo Quality
The photo must be in color, of high resolution, and printed on high-quality paper. It should not be altered or retouched. The image should be sharp and clear, without any visible pixels or imperfections.
