About Israel Passport Photo Requirements
Israeli passport photos are specified by the Population and Immigration Authority (רשות האוכלוסין וההגירה, Rashut HaUchlosin). The 50x50mm square format is unique — larger than the US 51x51mm (slightly different), and different from any European format. Glasses are prohibited in all Israeli passport photos.
For Israeli citizens living in Israel, the passport photo is typically taken at the Population Authority office itself during the application visit — applicants do not bring their own photo. However, for children's passports and for Israelis abroad applying at consulates, a printed 50x50mm photo meeting all specifications is required.
The background must be plain white. Expression must be completely neutral. For Jewish applicants wearing a kippah, this is permitted if the face is fully visible. The Population Authority's digital system is increasingly being used for online renewals where biometric data is already on file.
Common Mistakes in Israeli Passport Photos
Wearing glasses
The Population Authority prohibits glasses in all Israeli passport photos. Remove all eyewear before taking your photo — this applies to both in-Israel applications and consulate submissions abroad.
Using the wrong square size
Israel requires a 50x50mm square, which is different from the US 51x51mm square. Even a 1mm size difference can cause rejection when the photo is physically measured at the Population Authority.
Bringing a photo to an in-Israel appointment
For standard adult passport applications in Israel, the Population Authority takes the photo on-site. Bringing your own photo to an in-Israel appointment is unnecessary — our service is specifically designed for consulate applications and children's passports requiring printed photos.
Non-white background or shadows
The white background must be completely uniform for consulate submissions. Shadows or off-white backgrounds will be rejected by the consulate officer.
