Poland Passport & Visa Photos

Polish passport photos use the 35×45mm format on a uniformly light background, with the face centred and a natural expression.

The Polish document page below carries the size, background and framing rules with the official source cited. The studio matches the standard from your photo.

Resolution requirement of six hundred dpi

Poland's official pixel floor for the passport photo is 492×610 px, written per axis rather than as a proportion. The ordinary 300 dpi print file falls short of it. The file delivered here runs at 827×1063 px — 600 dpi — to clear the floor with margin.

Face proportion and background

The face rule is proportional: the face fills between 70 and 80 per cent of the 35×45 mm frame, with no millimetre band published. The background is called evenly light, and white satisfies it.

Visa photo requirements

The visa photo follows the same 35×45 mm rectangle and the same proportional reading, per the Polish missions' own checklist. One session serves both files; the visa inherits the same print discipline.

Resolution below the pixel floor

A 300 dpi file at 413×531 px — the standard European delivery — lands under Poland's 492×610 px floor and fails on resolution before the face is assessed. Resolution is a named requirement here.

Face proportion outside the range

Under 70 per cent reads as too far away; over 80 reads as cropped close. Without a millimetre band, the frame proportion is the whole measurement, and both directions of miss fail it.

Uneven background light

Shadows, gradients, and patchy light on the wall do not meet the evenly light requirement. Retouched files are also rejected.
