Saudi Arabia Passport Photo Specifications

The Saudi Arabian General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) uses the international ICAO biometric photo standard for adult and child passport applications submitted through Absher and at Jawazat offices.

  • Size: 40×60mm, 4×6cm (472×709px at 300 DPI).
  • Background: plain white. No shadows, patterns, or colour gradients.
  • Head height: roughly 60–70% of the image height (chin to crown).
  • Expression: neutral, mouth closed, eyes open and looking at the camera.
  • No glasses, no tinted lenses.
  • Head coverings (hijab/shemagh) are accepted if worn daily for religious reasons — face must remain fully visible.
  • Photo must be in sharp focus with even lighting.

Use the Same Photo Across Absher Services

The same 40×60mm photo standard is used across many Absher and Jawazat services, including passport renewal, the national ID (Hawiya), and dependent registration for residents.

  • Passport issuance and renewal at Jawazat offices.
  • Photo updates on Absher accounts.
  • Dependent passports for spouses and children.
