Kazakhstan document photo specifications — every type compared
Kazakhstan does not use one photo format for every document: 5 of them are compared below. Each row gives the print size in millimetres, the head height, the required background and the authority page that row was checked against. Sizes differ from one document to the next, so a photo made for one application is not automatically valid for another — and a print that misses the stated figures is refused.
