  2. What we don't check

    • When the picture was taken. We read the date from the file if it survived, but re-saving wipes it — and many authorities ask for a recent photo.
    • Whether the picture was edited. Retouching, filters and AI changes cannot be proved from a file.
    • Whether you have sent this picture before. Some authorities reject a photo that was already used in an earlier application.
    • How the photo will be printed. Paper, trimming and print quality cannot be judged from a file.
    • The route you apply through. Some countries want a code from an approved photographer, or take the picture at the office themselves.

  3. What this document is

    Kazakhstan writes its photo rules once, for identity documents as a class, and the identity card is the everyday member of that family — the document you show inside the country. That single page is why the passport page here repeats the same figures. Worth taking from it before you shoot: the picture must be from the last six months, the background plain and light with grey recommended rather than white, sunglasses are out, and a head covering is accepted only when it is worn for religious reasons.
