Official document photos in Jordan
Jordanian passports, national ID cards, residence and work permits all use the European 35 × 45 mm photo on a white background; only applications filed through the embassies in the United States switch to the square 51 × 51 mm size. The face should fill roughly 70 to 80 per cent of the frame, with a neutral expression and no glare on glasses. The Civil Status and Passports Department issues the documents, and Jordanian studios print these photos on 10 × 15 cm paper.
