Official document photos in Egypten
Egyptian passports and visas applied for inside Egypt use a 40 × 60 mm photo on a white background, but the consulates in the United States ask for the square 51 × 51 mm format instead, so check where you are applying before you print. Two prints are usually required with a paper application. The photo must be recent, face the camera squarely and carry no border or stamp. The passport service belongs to the Ministry of Interior, and Egyptian studios print on 10 × 15 cm paper.
