Do not confuse it with another Afghanistan document
Afghanistan does not use one frame for everything. This page is about passport — 40 × 45 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white background.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 40 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 472 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Afghanistan-specific things to know
- Afghanistan asks for three photographs, 4 × 4.5 cm, on a white background — close to, but not the same as, the ICAO 35 × 45 mm.
- The application is in person with an appointment booked online; the page does not accept applications by post or without the applicant.
Printing on a single sheet
3 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 6 copies from a single print.
Print at 100% scale, borderless, and turn off fit-to-page so each photo keeps its exact size.
