Poland Passport Photo Requirements 35×45 mm (2026) — Dowód Too

Polish passport photos are 35 × 45 mm. Background on most checklists is light grey or white with clear face contrast. Head height chin to crown about 32–36 mm (ICAO family).

Use our AI-powered Poland Passport Photo Tool to auto-crop your image in 3 seconds.

Two identical colour prints are often required; the photo should show how you look within the last 6 months.

Dowód osobisty (national ID) and many residence / licence flows also use the 35×45 family. Online dowód channels may list extra pixels (e.g. ~492×633) — read the e-service line.

Do not squash a Türkiye 50×60 or US 2×2 into a Polish slot.

Smiling, tilted head, shadow behind the ears, patterned wall, beauty filter, old photo, stretching a US square into 35×45.

Glasses glare; hair covering the face. Cream walls can photograph yellow on light-grey requirements — use a plain wall.
