About this photo

The Ukrainian Passport photo accepted by the State Migration Service is a 35 by 45 mm portrait. Home photos are accepted when they follow the rules, so a well-lit phone picture taken by someone else works. Behind you: plain white or light grey or off-white, lit evenly so no shadow falls on the face or the wall. Frame it so the head takes 32 to 36 mm of the 45 mm height. Applications are made with printed photos, so you need a physical copy rather than an upload. Confirm the exact requirements with the issuing authority before you apply. Send us any clear picture and you get a Ukrainian Passport photo at these measurements, background included, checked before checkout.
