What this document is
The Czech Ministry of the Interior has issued biometric residence permit cards to third-country nationals since 4 July 2011, and to family members of EU citizens since 2 August 2021 — for long-term and permanent residence, some family permits and international protection. The applicant comes to the biometrics appointment in person with a travel document, nobody can stand in for them, a collection date is agreed there, and the card is collected within 60 days of the scan.

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.
Czech Republic-specific things to know
- «Biometrika» is the everyday name of the biometric residence card: its photo is taken at the Ministry office at the biometrics appointment, together with the fingerprints.
- The printed 35 × 45 mm photograph goes with the residence application itself.
