What this document is
Burkina Faso’s passport is biometric, so the photo and fingerprints are taken on the spot at the passport service of the Division de la Migration of the Police Nationale. The new ONI (Office National d’Identification) system lets applicants book a preliminary appointment online before they come in for enrolment.
How to crop it, in three steps
- 01
Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light
- 02
The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%
- 03
Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
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 35 × 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 413 × 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
Burkina Faso-specific things to know
- Burkina Faso asks for three identical photographs of 4.5 × 3.5 cm and, for a renewal, says not to write a name on the back — the opposite of the embassies that ask for the name.
- The fingerprints are taken in front of an embassy agent at an appointment, and the fee is halved for those registered at the embassy.
Printing on a single sheet
4 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 8 copies from a single print.
