About this photo

The Ministry of the Interior (MUP), police administrations; Croatian embassies abroad asks for a Croatian Passport photo of 35 by 45 mm. Applications are made with printed photos, so you need a physical copy rather than an upload. Head height from chin to crown is 31.5 to 36.0 mm. Home photos are accepted when they follow the rules, so a well-lit phone picture taken by someone else works. Head from chin to crown about two thirds of the photo and at most 36 mm (adults at least 31.5 mm); eye distance at least 8 mm. A white or neutral light background is accepted, as long as it is uniform and without pattern. We make the Croatian Passport photo to this specification from your own picture and show you the result before you pay.
