This page uses official public guidance from Department of Provincial Administration (BORA), Thailand. Some biometric values remain generalized where the public source does not publish every numeric detail.

Official Thai public ID-card guidance was verified on 2026-04-13. The BORA civil-registration and citizen-card service manual for 2025 includes the ID-card workflow with printing the card-application request and taking the applicant's face image and fingerprints inside the official service process. This confirms an authority-capture route for the Thai national ID card rather than a separate applicant-supplied printed photo. The public manual excerpt available from the official source does not publish a separate biometric composition matrix or applicant photo size, so this profile is modeled as official-general.

Photo requirements

Submission The issuing authority usually captures the biometric portrait during the appointment, so a separate uploaded or printed photo is normally not required.
Background If the official source does not publish a separate background rule, use a light plain background without texture, shadows or foreign objects.
Pose Full-face, head centered, without tilt or turn.
Expression Neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open.
Glasses The eyes must be fully visible; no dark lenses or strong glare.
Lighting Shadows, overexposure and glare are not allowed.

How to take this photo correctly

  • Confirm that your application route uses live biometric capture at the authority.
  • Arrive with your current appearance and keep the full face clearly visible.
  • Avoid tinted glasses, face coverings or hair across the eyes on the day of capture.
  • Use the official source on this page if you need to confirm exceptions for consular or legacy procedures.

What is still inferred or not fully published

  • The official BORA service manual confirms that the ID-card workflow includes authority-run face-image capture and fingerprints, but the public material reviewed does not publish a separate applicant-photo size or composition matrix.
  • Some generation prompt fields use conservative biometric fallback wording because the official public source does not publish them separately.
