Official Lithuanian MFA ID-card guidance for citizens abroad was verified on 2026-04-13. The public page confirms personal appearance for passport and ID-card applications and states that children may need two age-appropriate photos, linking to the national photo requirements; the page is process guidance rather than a full inline adult biometric photo matrix.

  • Use the source links on this page to match the exact route before upload or printing.

Common reasons this photo gets rejected

  • The chosen filing route may use live capture instead of applicant photos, or vice versa.
  • The background does not match the rule: Light plain background without shadows or foreign objects.
  • The head is tilted, too close to the edge or cropped too tightly.
  • Glasses, glare, hair or shadows make the eyes hard to see.
