About this photo

Slovenian Passport photos are printed at 35 by 45 mm, the size the Upravne enote (administrative units), Ministry of the Interior; Slovenian embassies and consulates abroad works with. A photo taken at home with a phone is fine provided it meets these rules; ask someone else to take it at eye level. The face from crown to chin should take up about 70% of the photo and the photo must be suitable for biometric capture. Applications are made with printed photos, so you need a physical copy rather than an upload. Use a plain white or light grey or off-white background with nothing behind you and no shadow on the wall. Your head, chin to crown, should measure 31.5 to 36.0 mm on the print. Upload your picture and we size it for the Slovenian Passport, replace the background and verify the proportions before checkout.
