Russia hunting licence photos are reviewed by the issuing authority against the specifications shown in the table above. Both digital and physical submissions are checked for background colour, head position, lighting quality and file format before the document is processed.
Meet all specifications listed above before submitting. A photo that fails a single criterion — even a background shade variation — delays the entire application. The tool prepares the file to match the profile shown on this page.
Examples and mistakes
One compliant example next to the six most common rejection causes for Russia hunting licence applications. These are the differences that most often determine whether a document photo is accepted.
How to take it
Background: plain white
The tool puts in the required background. Stand half a metre from a plain light wall, face a window and shoot without flash — then there are no shadows on your face or on the wall.
Head: 70–80 % of the photo height
Camera at eye level, about a metre away; head and shoulders in the shot. The tool crops it to 30 × 40 mm.
With your everyday glasses
If you wear glasses every day, keep them on and check that the lenses show no glare.
Neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open
Look straight into the lens with your head level; keep hair away from your eyes and eyebrows.

Questions
All requirements are in the table above. Format: 30 × 40 mm. Head height: 70–80%. Plain white background.
Yes. Use a flat white wall, natural daylight from a window in front of you, and the rear camera of a phone with a 3-second timer. The tool handles the crop, background normalisation and compliance check.
Citizens who permanently wear glasses must be photographed wearing glasses without tinted lenses.
Most document authorities require the photo to be taken within the last six months. Use a fresh photo even if the rules technically allow older ones — recency reduces the risk of appearance-mismatch rejection.
Anfas.Pro provides a 14-day full refund if the authority rejects the photo and you supply the rejection notice.
