Do not confuse it with another Belarus document
Belarus does not use one frame for everything. This page is about biometric passport — 40 × 50 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 light background without textures or noticeable gradients.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 40 × 50 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 × 591 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.
Belarus-specific things to know
- Issued only with a valid ID card, or together with an ID-card application
- A citizen may hold two valid biometric passports if the holder’s details in them are identical
- Once biometric documents are issued, a non-biometric passport can no longer be obtained

Where these numbers come from

What the source confirms
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus, page on issuing and exchanging passports: a biometric passport is issued only to a holder of a valid ID card or when documents for the ID card and the biometric passport are filed at the same time; a citizen may hold two valid biometric passports if the holder’s details in them are identical.
- Same page: an application for (or exchange of) an ID card or a biometric passport requires the citizen’s personal presence for digital photographing, and fingerprint scanning from the age of 14; for a child under 14 a legal representative files the documents, and the child must be present for the digital photo.
- Same page, documents for the biometric passport: the ID card (or the documents for issuing one) and the biometric passport being exchanged, if any; no photographs are listed.
- Ministry of Communications and Informatization, answers on biometric documents: the photo is taken on site.
