Can I create a Belgian passport photo online?

Yes, you can create an official Belgian passport photo (Belgisch Paspoort / Passeport Belge) online using our Belgium Passport Photo Maker. Upload a clear portrait or selfie, and our AI tool automatically crops, resizes, and positions your chin-to-crown height to 31–36 mm (35x45 mm) according to Belgian municipal office (Gemeente / Commune) standards.

What is the official size for a Belgian passport photo?

Belgium requires standard biometric passport photos measuring 35 mm wide by 45 mm high (35x45 mm). For digital uploads, a high-resolution JPEG of 413 x 531 pixels at 300 DPI on a plain light grey, light blue, or off-white background is required.

What is the face height requirement for a Belgium passport?

Your face height from chin to top of head must measure between 31 mm and 36 mm, covering 70% to 80% of the vertical photo height.

What background color is accepted for Belgian passport photos?

The background must be plain, uniform, and light-colored—preferably light grey, light blue, or off-white. Pure white is acceptable if there is clear contrast with your hair and face. No shadows or background patterns are permitted.

Can I wear glasses in a Belgian passport photo?

Glasses are permitted only if the lenses are completely clear with no reflections, tinting, or frame shadows obscuring your eyes. Thick frames should be avoided. Many authorities prefer photos taken without glasses to eliminate rejection risk.

How do I take a Belgian baby passport photo at home?

Place your baby flat on a light grey or white bedsheet and take a photo from directly above. Ensure neutral expression and eyes are open. Our Belgium Passport Photo Maker will automatically crop the 35x45mm area and adjust face alignment.
