Germany ID / Licence from Ireland: identity-document crop only
Scope lock: Germany ID / Licence is an identity / residence-style document page, kept separate from passport and licence URLs.
In Ireland, treat this page as a Germany-only tool for Germany ID / Licence. Irish passport booth sizes are not a substitute when the form explicitly asks for Germany measurements.
This article is scoped to Germany ID / Licence as a Germany identity / residence-style photo (35 × 45 mm, Light grey), kept separate from passport and licence pages.
Cross-border ID work: market Ireland, photo law Germany for Germany ID / Licence. Passport and licence copy stay on other URLs.
German-speaking ID standards commonly use 35 × 45 mm with a light background. Germany ID / Licence on this page instead targets 35 × 45 mm and Light grey — do not assume an EU booth print is interchangeable.
Home-market tip: Ireland passport photos are commonly about 35 × 45 mm. Germany ID / Licence instead demands 35 × 45 mm — different aspect ratio, not a simple resize.
From Ireland: selfie → Germany ID / Licence → upload → use the export for Germany registry / residence filings.
Why Ireland defaults fail Germany ID checks
A 35 × 45 mm Ireland print is not automatically a valid 35 × 45 mm ID crop for Germany ID / Licence.
Registries want a plain Light grey field and a current likeness — not a reused travel JPEG.

Keep the selector on Germany ID / Licence
Do not flip to a Ireland passport or licence mid-flow — millimetres will silently change.
