Do not confuse it with another Belarus document

Belarus does not use one frame for everything. This page is about ID card — 40 × 50 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

04What we fix

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.

What the source confirms

  • Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus, page on issuing and exchanging passports: 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.
  • The same page lists the documents for an ID card — an identity document (or a birth certificate) and papers confirming changed personal data; no photographs are listed.
  • Ministry of Communications and Informatization, answers on biometric documents: the photo is taken on site.
