Austria ID / Licence from South Africa: identity-document crop only
Scope lock: Austria ID / Licence is an identity / residence-style document page, kept separate from passport and licence URLs.
Living in South Africa does not change the Austria photo standard for Austria ID / Licence. Use this page when the application names Austria sizes, not a local ICA or Home Affairs crop.
This article is scoped to Austria ID / Licence as a Austria identity / residence-style photo (35 × 45 mm, Light grey), kept separate from passport and licence pages.
Cross-border ID work: market South Africa, photo law Austria for Austria ID / Licence. Passport and licence copy stay on other URLs.
German-speaking ID standards commonly use 35 × 45 mm with a light background. Austria 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: South Africa passport photos are commonly about 35 × 45 mm. Austria ID / Licence instead demands 35 × 45 mm — different aspect ratio, not a simple resize.
From South Africa: selfie → Austria ID / Licence → upload → use the export for Austria registry / residence filings.
Why South Africa defaults fail Austria ID checks
A 35 × 45 mm South Africa print is not automatically a valid 35 × 45 mm ID crop for Austria ID / Licence.
Registries want a plain Light grey field and a current likeness — not a reused travel JPEG.

Keep the selector on Austria ID / Licence
