Official document photos in 독일
German passport, identity card, driving licence and residence permit photos are 35 × 45 mm, with the head filling 32 to 36 millimetres of that height — a noticeably tighter crop than most countries ask for. The official sample sheet shows a plain light grey background rather than white, a neutral closed-mouth expression, and both eyes clearly visible through any glasses. The Federal Ministry of the Interior publishes that sheet, and German shops print biometric photos on 10 × 15 cm paper.
