Notes to the sheet

  1. Turkey ID card photo requirements at a glance

    • The Turkey ID card photo is 50 × 60 mm.
    • The head takes up 53.3–60 % of the photo height — 32–36 mm from chin to crown.
    • The eyes sit at 55–70 % from the bottom of the photo.
    • Background: plain white.
    • Glasses are fine if the lenses are clear and free of glare.
    • Head coverings only for religious reasons, with the whole face visible.
    • Neutral expression, mouth closed.
    • Rules: NVI / Ministry of Interior of Turkey, checked against the official text on 25 Sep 2026.

  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

    Kimlik is the identity card every Turkish citizen carries; since 2017 it has been a chip card holding the face image and fingerprints, and it can carry an electronic signature as well. Its rules come from the NVI page on what a biometric photograph has to look like — the page the rest of the Turkish document family is measured against, which is why the numbers coincide. Two lines on it are worth reading before you shoot: the image must be no older than six months, and a head covering is accepted only while the face stays visible from chin to forehead.
