About Czech Republic Passport Photo Requirements
Czech passport photos are governed by the Ministry of Interior (Ministerstvo vnitra, IPC — Informační systém pro cizince). The 35x45mm format accepts either a white or light grey background — giving applicants more flexibility than countries requiring a single specific shade. The face from chin to crown must measure 32-36mm.
The Czech Republic allows glasses in passport photos provided the lenses are clear (no tinting or colour), the eyes are fully visible, and there is no glare on the lenses. Expression must be neutral with the mouth closed. Photos should be taken within the last 6 months.
Czech passport (pas) and national identity card (občanský průkaz) applications are submitted at municipal offices (obecní úřad) or at the Ministry of Interior's service centres. Online applications are available through the Portál občana (obcana.gov.cz). Both documents use the same 35x45mm photo specification.
Common Mistakes in Czech Passport Photos
Glare on permitted glasses
While the Czech Republic allows glasses, any glare on the lenses will disqualify the photo. Use natural diffused daylight or position the light source at a 45-degree angle to eliminate reflections.
Using a blue or coloured background
Only white or light grey backgrounds are accepted. Some applicants from countries that require a blue background (like the Philippines) mistakenly use a coloured backdrop for Czech applications.
Photo not reflecting current appearance
Czech municipal officers compare the photo with your current appearance. Significant changes in hair colour, beard, or other features may result in additional verification steps.
Head not centered or head covering
The face must be perfectly centered in the frame with no head coverings (except for religious reasons). Any rotation, tilt, or obstruction of the face will cause rejection.
