Official document photos in Tyrkland
Turkish passports, national ID cards and residence documents all use the same biometric photo: 50 × 60 mm on a plain white background, with the head measuring 32 to 36 millimetres from chin to crown. The photo has to be recent, taken face-on and with a neutral expression, the sides of the face clear of hair and no shadow on the wall behind you. Applications go through the General Directorate of Civil Registration and Nationality, and Turkish studios cut these photos from 10 × 15 cm paper.
